It will be quite difficult for Barcelona to secure a top four position this season because the Athletic Club team is also very close to Barcelona at the moment. So it could be quite possible for Barcelona to be eliminated from the top four positions if in this week's match Barcelona loses again to Osasuna. Apart from that, it is still possible for Real Sociedad to catch up with Barcelona if they continue to rise and Barcelona continues to decline this season so this is quite sacred for Barcelona this season.
Barcelona has internal problem after Xavi Hernandez announcing will leave his position until the end of this season give bad mentality for the players and less conducive situation right now for Barcelona securing the top fourth position. Currently not only Athletic Bilbao but also Atletico Madrid are close teams have the same points with Barcelona and get pressure for winning every match. Tomorrow Barcelona have postponed match against Osasuna and must get three points to maintain the point difference from Athletic Bilbao behind two points left.
The match against Osasuna must be a moment of revival for Barcelona. The situation after Xavi's resignation will indeed have a domino effect because it could affect the players' mental health even further.
Facing Osasuna on tomorrow is moment for Barcelona is moment recovery to the winning trend after losing two matches in a row from Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla. Most important thing how Xavi Hernandez improving with defensive performance have conceded more than 11 goals in last three matches, Xavi Hernandez must provide the best results for Barcelona in the remaining few matches before deciding to leave the position of manager at the end of this season.
