Xavi Hernández Seeks a League Turnaround as Barcelona Aims to Secure Top 4 Spot

After announcing that he will not continue next season, Xavi Hernández is eyeing a turnaround in LaLiga. The coach from Terrassa made his decision public in the post-match press conference against Villarreal with the intention of easing the tension among his players for the remainder of the season. The match against Osasuna will be the first opportunity to gauge whether this decision has indeed had the desired effect.

With the recent defeat against the ‘yellow submarine,’ Barcelona finds themselves in the fourth position in the domestic competition. This standing could be in jeopardy due to Athletic Club’s outstanding season. Against Osasuna, Barça aims to create a gap and avoid complicating their qualification for the Champions League.
