Barcelona can confirm their place in next season’s Champions League with a victory over Real Betis at the Benito Villamarín on Saturday night.
The Copa del Rey winners were held to a draw with Getafe on Monday which means Barca can mathematically secure a top-four space with three games to go.
Xavi’s priority since taking over has been to secure Champions League football for next season which the club needs for financial as well as footballing reasons.
Of course it won’t be as easy as all that. Betis are in the midst of a superb season and are also in the running for a top four place.
