FC Barcelona, led by Xavi Hernandez, secured second place in La Liga after defeating Rayo Vallecano 3-0 at the Montjuic Stadium. This win ensures a spot in the Spanish Super Cup alongside bitter rivals Real Madrid.

Xavi Hernandez, the Barcelona legend, will manage his final game against Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, marking the end of an underwhelming season for the Catalans.

In his farewell press conference, Xavi reflected on the experience and expressed gratitude towards the club. However, his departure was marred by dismissal following comments on Barcelona’s financial challenges.

For the last match against Sevilla, Barcelona’s starting XI includes key players like Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Joao Cancelo, Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Ilkay Gundogan, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski.

Meanwhile, Girona clinched third place with a victory over Valencia, securing their first-ever Champions League qualification in club history.

Real Sociedad claimed the final Europa League spot with a win over Betis, while Atletico Madrid suffered a 4-1 defeat to Osasuna in their final league game.

In other La Liga results, Cadiz faced relegation after a draw against Las Palmas, while Almeria and Granada had already been relegated prior to the matches.
