Barcelona will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in La Liga when they travel to Alaves on Saturday.
Xavi announced after the 5-3 loss to Villarreal last weekend that he will be standing down as head coach of the Catalan giants at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
The reigning champions managed to return to winning ways on Wednesday evening, though, beating Osasuna 1-0 on home soil, with the result leaving them fourth in the La Liga table, eight points behind leaders Girona.
