Barcelona coach Xavi says there'll be no underestimating Almeria tomorrow night.

Barca need a win to maintain second place and qualification for the Spanish Super Cup.

Xavi said: "It is not an easy match and, analysing Almera, they deserved more points than they earned. It is a team that has freed itself, even if they didn't want to, because it has already dropped.

"They have played very well against Girona, Atltico, Real Madrid... They have talent with Arribas, Embarba, Choco Lozano, Baptistao... We depend on us. If we get the six points until Sunday we are second, so the objective is clear.

"We will explain it when we have the photo of the squad (plans for next season). First we have to plan, reinforce ourselves if we can..., and see where we are. And then, we'll talk. But right now our objective is not to think about next season, but about Almera. Second place is a minimum objective for the club because it allows us to play for another title, the Super Cup."
