What you say in this case is true because Xavi has nothing to do with finances because he is just a coach who is only tasked with training the players there and of course for financial tasks and other matters there is management. But on the other hand we also have to realize that when management has problems, then this will indirectly have an impact on those below in this case of course about coaches and players because they will get an impact that could be very significant.
For example, when a few seasons ago they also experienced a very deep crisis and made their performance destroyed just because management was incompetent to take care of their conditions. Another example is experienced by Chelsea in the EPL this season because they were also destroyed when there was a major overhaul in terms of management.

If Barcelona cannot overcome this, it is not impossible that with their current overpaid condition they will return to selling several players including their current star players which of course this will be a fairly risky problem for them next season.

I am not one of those who have faith in a team like Sevilla but what they have achieved is something worth noting, they eliminated a team that seemed to be the strongest (for many, not for me) so the strongest teams have I have stayed here, among them it seems to me that the Italian teams come out that are very outstanding and that have a lot to give, among them the one I have the most faith in is Juve, because Juve represents a lot, also that some have seemed very unfair deals that have been given in Serie A, where they took away those -15 points, where they were rather in 1st place.

Xavi is not doing badly, Barcelona has achieved very good things on average, La Liga is one, it cannot be denied, but there are also many Championships they have lost , it is because they have gone much further in the Europa League, with They cannot reach that level in the UCL because otherwise they will be kicked out in the first round, however they must play with the same Intensity when they go out to play against Madrid and in La Liga , to see if that is how they manage to change the statistics that do not favor them due to Now, only La Liga , which is what is really more relevant.


Xavi insists his contract ‘will never be a problem’ for Barcelona and says club prioritising midfield signing

I think the difference between the coaches is that one actually has a plan and the other just made up a plan according to whatever he had. The difference on the trust level is also a lot different, Xavi is one of the all time greats of Barcelona so he was given a chance Koeman wasn't given as well, the team literally sold everything they had just to build this team for Xavi, they wouldn't do that for any other person.

They are doing fine now but lets be honest, they do not have much left to sell, they are literally selling their entire future just to have success right now, and they only did league this season which isn't all that much money. Real has no cap problems because they kept on winning and Barcelona lacked that, lets hope that they will do better next season.

Villareal chance to get to UCL ticket next season will be determined tonight not by tomorrow if Barcelona wins Real Sociedad at home.
Real Sociedad has a 2 points difference with Villareal already. if they lose today's match to Barcelona, it will give Villareal a little bit of confidence for qualifying for the champion league. That was why they make sure they win Girona to shorten their gap against Real Sociedad

Although Villarreal win was a lucky win, it would not have happened if Villarreal had not worked hard in the last minutes. They got their second from a sudden counter-attack, attacking from the left and then firing in from Gerard Moreno.

BTW, in the remaining Villarreal matches, they will face Cadiz, Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid, do you think Villarreal can get full points in each of their remaining matches?

Let the winner go to the team that has performed brilliantly,  Barcelona deserves laliga championship,  they put in much zeal to make sure they become the number one in laliga.  This is the time for laliga to become winner. Next season is coming and open for Real Madrid to fight for laliga championship.

Now they only have a gap of 2 points from Real Sociedad, and that could be the difference in points that will happen after Real Sociedad finishes this week's matches. That's because they will face Barcelona who have confirmed the championship this season. I want to see if Barcelona will continue to play with their main players or not, because if they don't play their main players it is an advantage for Real Sociedad.

I will say it was a lucky win for villareal. The two side fought so well,  Girona fought better in the early early hours of the game.  villareal only became superior in the last 30 minutes of the game after the substirution of Alfonzo Pedrata for Alberto Moreno. Moreno was the brain behind the forces pulled by Villareal left wing and was lucky enough to secure a last minute goal which earned them the 3 points. Though it was accompanied by hard work, I will still say that villareal escaped with a narrow win

Both teams play a passive game and don't have dominance on either side. Girona, despite playing at home, but they were unable to get 3 points and failed to make their fans happy. Villarreal still has a chance to get into 4th place and shift Real Sociedad, this is because Real Sociedad will face Barcelona, ​​this should be a difficult match for Real Sociedad.

The result against girona was making villareal even closer to the UCL spots. Sociedad was getting draw in the previous match and there are only two points gap with sociedad has 1 match remaining. There are still around 5 matches remaining. As long as sociedad will be getting bad results in the upcoming match and that will be so easy for villareal to get UCL spoits. What villareal needed is luck. It's caused by sociedad may make the gap to be 5 points again if it will be winning against barcelona.

I hope that barcelona will play seriously even though it has been winning la liga. It will really help villareal to be even closer to the sociedad. barcelona is the only hope for villareal to cut the points to the two points.
Barcelona shall have beaten sociedad to make sure villareal able to take UCL spot from sociedad.

What an amazing goal from monero during the additional time.

I wouldn't exaggerate the meaning of the supercopa trophy to be honest as this is quite an easy title. But I wouldn't say that Xavi is worse than Nagelsmann. Xavi now made his experience as well in a top league. But Nagelsmann has quite a good standing usually and the engagement at Bayern Munch ended with quite a misunderstanding in my opinion. He is a young and ambitious coach and he knows how to develop young talents. But he lacks the experience as a soccer player himself, which is probably an advantage for Xavi in this case.

In the next season I expect Barcelona to play a more important role in the European competitions as well. It also depends on whether or not they can convince a few strong players to join them if their finances are not going to be too big of a problem.

Maybe Xavi isn't as brilliant as Nagelsmann. maybe also, Xavi needs higher flying hours. but at least, he was able to bring Barcelona to win 2 trophies at once this season. well, if Xavi wants to defend the title next season and at the same time be able to compete in the European League competition. like it or not, he had to bring in newcomers. especially next season, Busquets will no longer play for Barcelona.
As for some of the players who have not performed well this season, they have to sell at once to remedy the financial problems they are currently facing. In the next season, Xavi must improve the performance of his players. in particular, with the system he employs. I mean, Xavi has to learn to have some other plans if his team is facing difficulties. well, after all Barcelona has now won the La Liga trophy, an achievement that must be appreciated.

In the next few hours, Barcelona will play their match against Real Sociedad. I'm not sure about this match, but if I refer to the predicted line-up that Barcelona will play in this match. apparently, they will play with the full squad. it's just that Gavi won't be played due to card accumulation. instead, Ferran Torres can replace him on the wing. or, Ansu Fati. if that's the scenario, 3 points is the result they must achieve against Real Sociedad.

Basically three points are important points for Girona and also Villarreal but unfortunately, Girona was still not lucky enough because Girona failed in the last minute towards the end of the match. With this win, Villarreal managed to extend their unbeaten record for the match against Girona.

Also, the top seven teams at this moment are seven teams that are used to having good performances every season. So, with the top seven teams currently in the top seven of the La Liga table, I consider it the place they deserve to be. So, I personally don't really regret it if Girona fails to finish in the top seven, because basically Girona is quite rarely in a competitive position like this.

Finally Villarreal managed to break the positive trend of Girona, who had never lost in the last 4 matches. Even this is a home defeat for Girona and this result is exactly what Villarreal needs if they want to play in European competition next season. Despite the defeat, Girona still have a chance at least for a conference league ticket next season and with 3 matches remaining I think they can reach that place if they are consistent to keep winning. Currently Bilbao is also leading with a score of 2-1 against Celta Vigo and the match leaves about 20 minutes to go, if Bilbao manages to maintain this advantage then they will be slightly favored for next season's conference league.

Real Madrid failed to do anything great the following season. Couldn't do well in Champions League and couldn't do well in LaLiga either This season, Real Madrid focused more on the Champions League, which resulted in them losing their place in La Liga as well.

This season, Real Madrid is not in good condition many of its players are injured and do not contribute fully on the field, so Real Madrid's performance has decreased drastically. Real Madrid must immediately evaluate its players, and management must reselect who must be repaired or maybe bring in new players to fill in those who are very weak and have always had trouble maintaining their position on the field this season.

Villarreal's late goal meant that Girona tasted defeat in their home game. 3 points are very important for Villarreal because it is certain that they will occupy a place in the Europa League next season. Villarreal took an early lead in the first half in the 9th minute, but Girona replied with a goal they scored in the 24th minute. No more goals came after that in normal time and I thought the game would end without a winner, but a late goal the addition created by Gerard Moreno locked in Villarreal's victory over Girona.

Benzema is still one of the important names for Real Madrid. His contribution this season has been quite impressive. Maybe his last season performance was even way better but I wouldn't like to overlook this one also. However I still don't think that he should be continuing to be a part of the starting eleven as of next season. Because he is aging and I think his performance would get worse next time.

If Real Madrid want to stay as one of top teams in Europe they definitely need to continue to change some of the players in their lineup. They must have been thinking the same thing lately that they are planning a top striker transfer. Mbappe or Haaland would be really lovely for the position but Real Madrid will have to wait longer to have a chance to go for one of them.

Therefore the most speculated name is Osimhen for now. I think that they should go for it after watching him play this season.

 Villareal team managed to beat girona in a tough game thanks to moreno last minutes goal, it was an important win for villarreal since they will surely play in the europa league next season if not the champions league, on the otherhand girona lost their seventh spot to bilbao at the moment since they managed to score against celta vigo, too bad for girona they really played well this season it would be unfortunate if they don t manage to get a european spot.

Against what other people might think, I am of the opinion that the reason that Madrid lost woefully to Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals is because Madrid opted to play with their experienced old midfielders rather than to use the young vibrant midfielders to match the energy and speed of Manchester City.

Even if Madrid have to continue with Modric and Tony Cruz in the midfield for next season, they do not have to play almost every matches. In fact, they should be coming from bench unless for some tactical matches that their experience would be needed. Strength is a major factor in the Midfield rather than experience.
