Barcelona will strive to maintain their mathematical chances of winning the La Liga title when they travel to face their Catalan neighbors, Girona, in a significant match on Saturday evening.
Xavi’s team is currently second in the league, trailing leaders Real Madrid by 11 points, and holding a slim two-point advantage over third-placed Girona, who are poised to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
This season marks only Girona’s fourth appearance in Spain’s top division, and they are on track for a historic finish, having previously placed 10th in the 2017-18 and 2022-23 seasons.
