Xavi Hernandez has a sole task for the remainder of the LaLiga Santander campaign, and that is for Barcelona to challenge for the domestic title, and they will resume their campaign with a tricky away trip to Atletico Madrid.
Diego Simeone‘s charges have been struggling with an identity crisis throughout the 2022/23 season, which has contributed to a significant decline in results.
The club are hoping to back their coach to ensure the team’s successful style remains effective, hence why Joao Felix has been put on the market, despite his incredible natural talent.
