In the end, this victory could be a farewell gift for Xavi, although it cannot be celebrated on home turf. It's quite sad to see Xavi have to leave Barcelona because it's not just looking at his contribution as a coach but Xavi has very strong ties to Barcelona and it was in Barcelona that Xavi grew into a great player.

His Loyalty to the club and its supporters, which made him make a U-turn to continue coaching Barcelona apparently couldn't save him from the wrath of Laporta who suddenly fired him for an unclear reason. Well, this is the path that Xavi and Barcelona must take, even though I know there are some who regret that this happened.

Girona has indeed performed extraordinary this season, where they were able to show something that was very threatening to other teams, and in the end they were able to be among the big teams that have become regulars in the top 4 of the standings. Not only that, from the 2 meetings they faced Barcelona, they also managed to win 2 of those matches. That is clearly something good that they can achieve considering that in the previous season they were not a team like this, yes they were a team that was only in the middle of the table.
They must be able to continue what they did this season in the next season, lest they experience something like other teams. For example, Sevilla, where last season Sevilla managed to compete, but we can see that this season they performed poorly and even had to be placed in a position that was far from good. Girona has to keep it all together, and defending will usually be more difficult than starting.

Almeria won against Cadiz 6:1 after they were behind with one goal in the first half, I couldn't believe that Almeria was scoring 6 goals in this game when they had already been relegated, this is the way they needed to play in the past few weeks because this winning and scoring of huge goals are not going to change anything. They got promoted to the Premier League last two seasons, and they are relegated this season. Almeria with 21 points throughout the season.


I was still shocked that Real Madrid couldn't score a single goal against Real Betis, after the starting XI. I thought Real Madrid was going to score the rest of their goals in this match because any of their opponents need to be scared after seeing Ancelotti starting line up. However both teams attacked more than I expected, in fact, Real Betis attacked Madrid more than I was expecting because they lost their last game against Sociedad, so I thought Real Madrid would have an easy win. I think Real Madrid could have lost their last game of the season in La Liga if Real Beti's two goals weren't canceled due to the offside. Vinicius and Rodrygo just missed the chances they had to win the match, maybe they don't want to perform more than that because of their Champions League final since if any play has an injury it will have an impact on them.

Finally Laliga has finished it's last match yesterday with Real Madrid as the champion of this season and Barcelona can finish at runner up place after in the last match they can beat Sevilla and Atletico Madrid and also Girona will playing at Champion League next season even so with Bilbao and Betis because they have managed to finish at top 6 then automatically they will playing at Europa League and the teams who relegated also have already to be determined because Almeria, Granada and Cadiz confirmed will return to Segunda Division

For promotion teams of next season seems Valladolid will be the first team who possibly to promote because their points cannot pursuing anymore to other teams but for Leganes their position at runner up is still not fully safe but if this weekend Leganes can able to gets at least draw result from Elche then they also will be automatically promote to Laliga and correct me if i am wrong but similar to Ligue 1 in Laliga too there is play off stages to gets the last ticket of promotion team and this season the team from 4th place until 6th place which this season Eibar, Espanyol, Real Oviedo and Racing Santander will fight each other to gets that ticket

Yes, you are very correct they really need to improve and buy a better players against next season, because looking at their performance in the champions league semi final they seems to be quite slow that is what really makes them to be out from the champions league semi final, so however I think they really need to buckle up and prepare well for next season champions league.

It was difficult to accept that this was Xavi’s last match in Barcelona, but if you look at how he comments on his dismissal, it seems to me that he even talks about it with relief, as if in the end he got what he wanted. Since Xavi was fired unexpectedly, there are no rumors yet where he can continue his career, but I think that he will quickly find a new club where he will be the head coach, he has achieved good results in La Liga, so there will be many teams, that willing to work with him.

But in this case we also have to pay attention in terms of age at this time, Ter Stegen, Gundo and Lewandowski have an age that is already over 30 years old even though this can still be forced but their prime is actually at the end and almost over so there needs to be some situations where there is a rejuvenation especially for striker problems.

Lewa's performance this season is declining when compared to the previous season although this is still fairly good but the longer the decline in performance will definitely occur. In addition, their wings are empty after Felix left because his loan limit was over so there are 2 possibilities that can happen here, namely maximizing Ferran or looking for other alternatives. Previously there was Gavi who could be there but with the ACL healing which is quite time-consuming, it is certain that when Gavi can return to play there is a gap that must be familiarized first and this could take time for Gavi to return to his original performance.

Hansi Flick has a lot of work to do now but we'll have to see if this is the right decision in the end or if it backfires on Barcelona.

Will I say that this is the first time to Girona player scoring the highest goal and winning the golden boot. This shows that Laliga competition is getting tough and it is not like before that only Barcelona and Real Madrid are always the highest goal scorers due to their players. Girona made the competition very interesting this season, because noth Real Madrid and Barcelona had a rival, and it was a big challenge for Barcelona to finish second on the table.

This season still end up the same way just as the previous seasons, whereby Real Madrid and Barcelona are always on the first and second position, and it is either Real Madrid winning the league or Barcelona. I will love to see this change in future, maybe from next season, since this season we saw the highest goal scorers on first and second from different clubs entirely. I want next season not to be the same for the first and second position on the table. Is it possible to see a different club on the first and second position just like we had different clubs as the highest goal scorer this season.

In the end Barcelona won the match. Sevilla's players performed well in this match. Made a lot of attempts to score. Most of the attacks are done by team players. But Sevilla do not have enough experienced players in their attack. This is why Sevilla can't score more than one goal despite attacking a lot. Sevilla have scored just 48 goals in 38 matches this season.

Barcelona played very carefully in this match.   Xavi is well aware that Sevilla's attack is not very strong. So Barcelona didn't try to attack much after scoring their second goal.   Barcelona played somewhat defensively. And eventually managed to win the match by 2-1.

Girona has appeared so impressive this season and they managed to end the season on the Champions League stage. Of course they will prepare their squad to compete next season, but maybe Girona will lose some important players too. Some loan players will return to their original teams, but they will stay if Girona wants to make them permanent.

Barcelona, ​​which loses Xavi, will certainly be very different next season, but they might also get better if Hansi Flick is able to deal with the many problems in his squad. Hansi Flick is an experienced coach compared to Xavi, but the obstacle he will face is the lack of financial support from Barcelona management if he has to strengthen his squad.

Ilkay Gundogan and Lewandowski, Marc-André ter Stegen have worked under Hansi Flick in the German team or at Bayern Munich, but Hansi Flick may need to take some different approaches at Barcelona considering his style of play.

Maybe we are used to seeing the three teams from Laliga qualify for the UCL and what is unusual is Girona, I think Girona must really prepare themselves to compete in the UCL next season, it seems they also need new players to be able to balance the game in the UCL later, apart from that Madrid also failed to maintain their position at the top of the standings this season. They have learned a lot from their previous failures, of course this must be evaluated by Girona because next season the competition will be even tighter with many new stars in football and also new players in each team.

Girona might be a difficult team again next season because they will definitely prepare everything for the competition next season, Barcelona after losing Xavi will of course have a bad effect too but whatever it is the decision is final and everyone has to accept it, I hope Barcelona will be better next season, Atletico Madrid will remain a strong team both in Laliga and in the UCL, sometimes they always make it difficult for their opponents, Madrid will definitely continue to maintain its consistency as champions in Laliga or UCL next season. Waiting to see whether Mbappe will be added to Madrid for next season, all eyes are on Madrid for the future. 

It is quite a remarkable achievement for him. What Girona has achieved this season is really surprising and of a truth nobody has ever thought that Girona will rise to the occasion this season the way they did. Girona scored lots of gals this season so am not surprised to see their  player as the league's top scorer. I think this is healthy for the league, sometimes I get tired of always seeing the top 2 teams in Laliga dominating in everywhere, but now that the other teams are coming up it will make the league more and more interesting. I just hope that Girona is not just a one season wonder, they should continue to build on what they have achieved this season, they should hold onto their star players next season so that they can still be more competitive. If more teams can wake up in league and do as Girona did this season, the league will be more interesting.

Even though this match will not change anything, but it was an exciting spectacle. Barcelona appeared quite dominant and had more control over the game. Of the several good opportunities they had, Barcelona got 2 goals, but actually, there were 2 good opportunities which unfortunately had to hit the crossbar. Sevilla also didn't play completely badly. Even though they lost possession of the ball, but they had the same shots on target as Barcelona and even had more shot attempts. Sevilla were just unlucky in the finishing touch.

That is a thing of the past and you don't need to be silent about it anymore because now the season is over with Barcelona in second place and Girona in third. Now fans of teams in La Liga will only see how the team they like is currently developing in recruiting new players and also in starting the new season again later. And in general, Barcelona still has to improve their abilities to be able to compete even more fiercely in the next season without losing badly to a team like Girona.

This season, Artem Dovbyk (Girona) managed to become the top scorer in La Liga by scoring 24 goals, in second place is Alexander Sørloth (Villareal) with 23 goals, while in the next position is a young player who just joined Real Madrid this season, Jude Bellingham scored 19 goals, the same goals Lewandowski scored this season.

To be honest, I rarely see players from other teams who can be top scorers, because usually we always see Real Madrid or Barcelona leading the goal scorer list. Apart from dominating the league, they can also dominate things like top scores or assists, but this season we can see that there are players from other teams who can lead that list. I hope this will be the start of a new competition that will occur in La Liga, and in next season I hope I can see new names who can provide competition to make the league much more competitive.

BTW, I was one of the people who lost the bet on the Real Madrid vs Real Betis match. It was indeed surprising that Real Madrid played with a full squad but did not manage to score a single goal in this match which ultimately ended their season imperfectly, and Toni Kross' last match at the Santiago Bernabeu was also imperfect. Maybe because Real Madrid no longer have motivation in Laliga so they don't play too seriously.

However, what is clear is that this is a very bad result ahead of the UCL final. Not even 1 goal was scored against Betis even though they were playing at home. All other big teams ultimately failed like Man City and Leverkusen. Will Real Madrid add to this list and lose to Dortmund? If Real plays a match like this and doesn't improve, Real Madrid will definitely lose against Dortmund. So come on Real Madrid.

Assume you know the type of potential players Real Madrid coach is using in this season, you will believe that Real Madrid will going to win la Liga league title and champions league title, because they will not allow what happened in the Europa league final to happen in any of their remaining matches. If you are consistent with Real Madrid matches, you will believe that they are going to defeat Dortmund 3-1 for the favour of Real Madrid to win the champion league title, because Dortmund don't have strong defenders that can block Real Madrid strikes not to score goals to achieve victory from the match. Now that many people believed that Real Madrid will win la Liga league title base on their points, and there is a hope that they are going to take victory from Dortmund in the champion league final.

Hansi Flick is a coach who has experience and he is also a coach who is recognized as a good coach, but building Barcelona with all the problems it currently has is not an easy thing and I think Barcelona management must be able to give Hansi Flick the freedom to build Barceona and also the time to Hansi Flick can go through this process.

For Hansi Flick's first season winning Barcelona, I doubt that he will be able to make many changes and make Barcelona a top team again in the La Liga title competition. Maybe Hansi Flick will need a little time to process and build this team because the Barcelona squad is currently quite down. and the player material that the team currently has is also not that good.

To be honest with you the team that surprised me must in this Spanish LaLiga this season was Girona they were so hard to beat, because for a while now I have not been watching LaLiga it was that Girona against Barcelona that I notice how though Girona is because already I was seeing the match as draw game and that week I bet it as draw because when check their table I come see that they are sitting second and third so I was seeing it as a 50 50 game but to my greatest surprise Girona was able to beat Barcelona 4-2 at full-time my brother I was speechless that week.

Hansi Flick inherited a lame squad from Xavi Hernandez, but that doesn't mean the Barcelona squad is currently in big trouble, there are several positions that Hansi Flick must pay attention to to cover the shortcomings in the Barcelona squad. Young players who have just developed will really help Hansi Flick in forming a new strength in the Barcelona squad, they will get regular playing time due to their ability and still very strong energy.
Maybe Flick will ask the club management to bring in several players to make it easier for him to continue the project that Xavi failed to handle. Barcelona's finances are currently in decline, meaning management has to find a way to fulfill the coach's wishes. Selling several players is a solution to increase the club's finances, De Jong and Araujo can be included in the sales list because these two players have high value.
