BARCELONA, March 2 — Barcelona coach Xavi said today it was now the ‘moment of truth’ for his side who are on a roll of six wins in all competitions with an away match at Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and a Champions League return game at home to Napoli.

Many had written off Barca’s hopes of retaining their Liga title with Xavi announcing he would leave his post at the end of the season after a run of bad results in January.
