Barcelona play host to Eintracht Frankfurt at the Camp Nou in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash on Thursday.
They will both be looking to pick up an aggregate win after Ferran Torres and Ansgar Knauff scored for either side to end last week’s reverse leg all square.
There was late drama at the Ciudad de Valencia on Sunday as Luuk de Jong netted in the 92nd minute to hand Barcelona a 3-2 win over Levante in La Liga.
Xavi’s men are now unbeaten in 15 consecutive games, claiming 11 wins and four draws in that time.
Barcelona will look to keep the ball rolling as they turn their sights to the Europa League, where they were held to a 1-1 draw by Frankfurt in the first leg last Thursday.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt failed to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Freiburg last time out.
They have now failed to taste victory in six straight games, claiming five wins and losing once since a 2-1 win over Bochum on March 13.
Frankfurt are currently ninth in the Bundesliga standings after picking up 39 points from 29 games this season.
