Barcelona
Barcelona has been the most talked-about team in Europe lately. Recently, Joan Laporta and Deco announced at a press conference that they had convinced head coach Xavi to stay, but yesterday it was revealed that Xavi's relationship with the club president had deteriorated and he will be dismissed. There is no official information yet, but everyone is awaiting the club's decision.
In the La Liga standings, Barcelona occupies second place with a 4-point lead over Girona. Thus, they need just one more victory to secure second place and participation in the Spanish Super Cup.
In the previous La Liga round, Barcelona confidently defeated the season's main underdog Almería 2-0 away, and before that, they overcame Real Sociedad with the same scoreline.
Rayo Vallecano
This season has been very tough and unstable for Rayo Vallecano. Nevertheless, the team has almost secured safety from relegation. With two rounds remaining, Rayo is six points clear of the relegation zone, and only a miracle can help all their competitors surpass the Madrid team.
The successes in the last two rounds have been crucial for Rayo. Over the weekend, Rayo Vallecano managed to draw 0-0 against Valencia at Mestalla, and on Wednesday, they defeated Granada 2-1 at home.
