The Catalans, second, finish the campaign trophyless but were at least able to triumph in Xavi’s last match in charge after president Joan Laporta sacked him on Friday. Just weeks earlier, Barcelona announced Xavi was staying for next season. 

German coach Hansi Flick is expected to be appointed as Xavi’s successor next week. Xavi warned of the struggle awaiting the next in line. “They should know that they’ve got a difficult situation, because Barca is a difficult club and there’s an adverse financial situation too—it won’t be easy at all,” he told DAZN.
