By Jamie Spencer Barcelona have strengthened their grip on second place in La Liga thanks to a 2-0 win over already relegated Almeria on Thursday night. Xavi’s side had been soundly beaten by Girona at the start of the month but have now won back-to-back games since, coupled with their Catalan neighbours suffering something of a mini collapse. All in all, it means the gap back to third-place Girona is now four points with two games left. Fermin Lopez scored both goals, one in either half, to underline his growing importance. How the game unfoldedAs was to be expected, Barcelona enjoyed control...

By James Cormack Barcelona are back in La Liga action on Thursday night as they travel to bottom-of-the table Almeria. 2023/24 has been a campaign of tumult for the Catalans, who endured a miserable title defence and have already relinquished their crown to Clasico rivals Real Madrid. Thus, their primary objective with three league games remaining is to hold off surprise package Girona for second spot. Barca were beaten by their Catalonian rivals for the second time this season at the start of May, but a 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Monday night means they hold a point advantage over Giro...

By James Cormack A topsy-turvy 2023/24 season for Barcelona is edging towards its conclusion, with Xavi earning some much-needed respite on Monday night. The 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad arrived after Girona completed the double over their Catalonian rivals the weekend prior. Xavi's U-turn regarding his future at the club raised plenty of eyebrows, and Barcelona's up-and-down form in the aftermath has raised questions as to whether the Spaniard deserves to stay on. A positive end to the campaign would do the boss a world of good in what's been a pretty bleak season, on the whole. There are t...

By Jamie Spencer Xavi has admitted that it was not the plan for Vitor Roque to join Barcelona when he did in winter, having opted against using the Brazilian striker for the past month. The Roque deal struck with Athletico Paranaense could eventually total €61m, a €30m fixed fee plus €31m in add-ons. But his first few months in Spain have been underwhelming. The transfer was agreed in the summer of 2023 with the intention that Roque might link up with the Catalans a year later. But that date was brought forward midway through this season. "The intention was not for Vitor Roque to come in Decem...

By Jack Gallagher Although the majority of Europe's title races have now been decided, players from across the continent still have plenty to play for in the final few weeks of the season. Be it the opportunity to play in Europe next season, a new contract at their current club or a big-money move away, quite a few players have huge incentives to impress late in 2023/24. Here's the top eight players who impressed 90min the most on the continent this past weekend. 8.

By Tom Gott Barcelona manager Xavi has admitted a decision on Vitor Roque's future at the club will be made this summer. The Brazilian's agent recently warned Xavi that he must find more minutes for Roque or a permanent exit from Barcelona will be pursued, rejecting reports that the 19-year-old could leave on loan for the 2024/25 season. In the game that followed the threat of Roque's agent, Monday's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad, Xavi once again declined to give any minutes to the youngster. "He suffered a severe blow to his ankle and was in trouble," Xavi explained after the game. "He couldn't ...

By James Cormack Carlo Ancelotti will use Real Madrid's remaining La Liga fixtures as a means of rotating his squad and handing minutes to fringe players. Los Blancos have already secured the league title and their sole focus now lies on 1 June when they take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final. Manager Ancelotti rotated heavily at the weekend as his side thrashed the relegated Granada 4-0 and, although the Italian will want to ensure his key stars aren't rusty for their trip to Wembley, Madrid's projected starters for the final are unlikely to dominate the team sheet against Al...

By Jude Summerfield Lamine Yamal's strike and Raphinha's late penalty helped Barcelona beat Real Sociedad 2-0 on Monday evening to climb above Girona into second place in La Liga. Barca were frustrated for large periods by La Real but eventually went ahead in the 40th minute when Yamal tucked in and the job was completed late on when Raphinha slammed in from 12 yards after the visitors were penalised for handball. The three points take Xavi Hernandez's side back above Girona into second place, while Sociedad are down in seventh. How the game unfoldedBarca immediately threatened in the opening ...

By Ewan Murray Barcelona face Real Sociedad in La Liga on Monday night as they aim to bounce back from a poor run of form. The Catalan giants have lost three of their last four matches, conceding 13 goals in the process, and were beaten 4-2 by Girona last time out. Barca were leading until the 65th minute but conceded three goals in the space of nine minutes to throw away the victory, seeing them drop to third in the table as a result. Real Sociedad are currently sixth and scrapping to secure qualification for the Europa League next season having been a Champions League side this term. They ha...

By Jude Summerfield Real Madrid celebrated their 2023/24 La Liga title triumph on Sunday as the team traveled around the capital on an open top bus through the streets of the Spanish capital. Los Blancos reclaimed the championship from Barcelona last week and the playing squad, manager Carlo Ancelotti and president Florentino Perez were presented with the trophy by RFEF president Pedro Rocha at their Valdebebas training ground on Sunday morning.
