Fc Barcelona’s trajectory is going downwards since the European season resumed after the international break. Xavi has asked his players to step up in the final stretch of the season to achieve their objective of securing the Champion’s League spot for the next season.

Xavi: “I’m not angry but I told the players about the lack of faith and mentality, that can not happen again. We have to be more humble than ever. It’s a disappointment, but we have to focus on the fact that the objective is to achieve second place.”

Xavi has received a major boost ahead of the match against Real Sociedad as Gerad Pique and Ronald Araujo are available for the selection. Gerad Pique has recovered from his injury and Ronald Araujo has served his one-match suspension and both of them are expected to start against Sociedad.
