In La Liga, Barcelona chances of being able to defend their title are uncertain. This season the race for champions can only be pursued by Madrid and Girona, but there was a moment where Girona couldn't prove it again against Almeria, where Girona only shared the points. Having faced Almeria several times has been Girona biggest difficulty. Head2head both still belong to Almeria.
I know that Xavi has made a big contribution to Barcelona achievements, but currently his relationship with Laporta is a little strained because there are policies that are not mutually beneficial. Xavi demands that the club's financing be paid attention to. Meanwhile Laporta cannot fulfill this due to messy finances. For the next season Xavi will be increasingly doubtful about leading Barcelona.
Currently Barcelona can only get 41 points and is in 4th position, that means they need 10 points to be in the top position and this is something that is impossible for them to achieve this season.
Girona and Real Madrid only have difference of one point and the battle is in the hands of these two team to prove who is the strongest.
Real Madrid also today managed to beat Barcelona with landslide score and win the Spanish Super Cup title.
Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the Spanish Super Cup title.
Xavi has worked well but for now he has failed to bring Barcelona into good condition after the player crisis due to injury.
I don't know how Xavi will deal with this problem but he will have hard time bringing Barcelona back to life.
