Easy win for Barcelona as the Blaugrana defeat relegated Almeria

Xavi Hernandez’s men are looking to finish the season on a good note after failing to challenge for the LaLiga title.

They had it easy against relegated Almeria, defeating them 2-0 as the season gradually wraps up.

Almeria manager Pepe Mel made two changes to his side that lost 3-2 to Real Betis last weekend.

While Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez made four changes to his team that defeated Real Sociedad 2-0 last weekend.

The game started with Barcelona gaining most of the possession, controlling the game and creating chances.

It did not take long before the away team opened the scoring. Fermin Lopez ran onto a clever lofted pass from Hector Fort and easily beat the keeper with a header into the top right corner from close range.

Barcelona took the lead to the halftime break as they controlled the game. The second half started and Xavi’s men continued from where they stopped.

They kept knocking on the door of the Almeria defence and got the second goal of the game in the 68th minute.

Sergi Roberto displayed great vision and sent a pass to Fermin Lopez, who showed brilliant composure inside the box to bury the ball into the back of the net.

Barcelona managed the game well after scoring the second goal and held on till the referee blew the whistle for full time.
