Xavi rings in his choice to stick around at Barcelona on Monday when the reigning La Liga champions face Valencia as the season nears its end. Barcelona have a chance to retain second place as they currently sit one point behind Girona. The match could also be a last shot to stick around in the title race, no matter how unlikely it is that they will win La Liga for a second year in a row. They enter the match 14 points behind Real Madrid, who might be able to win the league in the next couple of weeks even if Barcelona win out. As for the solidly midtable Valencia, they can rise up to seventh with a surprise win over Barcelona.

The period between Xavi's big decisions has been a surprisingly optimistic one at Barcelona, in which they went on a 13-game unbeaten run until back-to-back losses to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga. A trophyless season is as much of a reality as it was in January, at the time of Xavi announced his departure, but the unbeaten run thrust the spotlight onto Barcelona's promising youngsters like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. Perhaps the belief is that with a youth-focused approach, a cash-strapped team can build for a bright future.

That strategy will likely be at play against Valencia when Barcelona's youngsters are expected to outshine their veterans again. That said, their more experienced players have been more than useful -- Raphinha has three goals in the team's last five games while Andreas Christensen has two, and Ferran Lopez is a week removed from a goal in El Clasico. The talent on hand is surely enough to see Xavi mark his choice to stay with a victory and a steady finish to the season.

Valencia is also looking to get its ship pointed in the right direction following back-to-back losses to Real Betis (2-0) and Osasuna (1-0) that hampered the club’s ability to make a move into the top five in LaLiga. Los Ches have another big opportunity against Barcelona, but they enter as firm underdogs for the Monday matchup.

Despite seeing their La Liga title defence ended at Real Madrid last weekend head coach Xavi Hernandez has accepted the club's offer to change his plans and the former Spanish international will now stay in Barcelona next season.

Two more victories will confirm Barcelona's UEFA Champions League qualification for next season as Real Madrid edge closer to the league trophy in 2024. Valencia are still on the edge of the European places but they need a strong end to the season in the final weeks of the campaign.

After the defeat in “El Clasico” against Real Madrid, Barcelona‘s hopes of contending for La Liga seem to have all but vanished, as the “Merengue” team has gained a significant advantage with only a few Matchdays remaining until the end of the tournament.

However, Xavi’s team is not willing to concede defeat and will continue to strive until the end to challenge their archrivals for the title. To do so, they must seize every opportunity remaining. But their upcoming match against Valencia won’t be easy, as their opponents are also in need of points to vie for entry into an international cup.
