Jordi Alba fired Barcelona into next season's Champions League with a spectacular volley in the last minute against Betis.
Xavi's task when he took over from Ronald Koeman was to save the team from another season kicking around in the Europa League. It looked a tall order at first. He then took them on a run that looked like seeing them win the Europa League and run Real Madrid close for the title.
Then things fell apart again, and the relief was palpable on Saturday night in Seville when Alba's thunderbolt beat Rui Silva to win the game 2-1 in injury time.

Alba's winning goal came from a Dani Alves cross. The pair of full-backs that date back to a time when Barcelona had bigger things to fight for.
