Xavi’s Barcelona triumphs over Sevilla in his final La Liga match as coach

Xavi Hernández bid farewell to Barcelona with a 2-1 victory over Sevilla in the final round of the Spanish league, ending his coaching stint on a high note. Robert Lewandowski and Fermin López scored for Barcelona in a match that marked the end of an era for the former midfielder.

Despite the win, Xavi expressed his disappointment at the club’s decision to part ways with him, stating, “We didn’t want this to end, but these are decisions made by the club.” The players also showed their appreciation for Xavi, with goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen saying, “He deserves the best.”

Barcelona had already secured second place in the league and a spot in the Spanish Super Cup next season. The team finished the season with four consecutive victories, showing promise for the future.

Sevilla, on the other hand, ended the season in 14th place after four straight losses. Youssef En-Nesyri scored for Sevilla, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win against Barcelona.

Xavi’s departure comes after a tumultuous season for Barcelona, which saw the team struggle to compete for titles. Despite initially planning to leave the club in the summer, Xavi changed his mind in April, citing the team’s improved performance.

As Xavi takes a break from coaching, Barcelona will now look to the future and find a new head coach to lead the team. The Spanish league concluded with little drama, as Real Madrid prepares for the upcoming Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.
