After a superb comeback that took them to the Copa Del Rey final, Barcelona are back in La Liga action on Saturday when they face Osasuna.
The Blaugrana are currently second in La Liga, five points behind Atletico Madrid, who have a game in hand at the moment. Ronald Koeman's side are level on points with Real Madrid and are only ahead on goal difference.
In the second leg of the Copa Del Rey semifinal on Wednesday night, Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-0 after extra time to progress to the final. They managed to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg.
Ousmane Dembele scored a stunning opening goal before Gerard Pique took the game to extra time with a second-half stoppage time strike.
Martin Braithwaite then scored in extra time to complete the comeback and give Koeman his best night since taking over at the Nou Camp. Barca will face Athletic Bilbao in the final of that competition in April.
Osasuna are currently 12th in La Liga and are in decent form, having won three of their last four matches. In their last game, Kike Barja scored a 77th-minute winner as they beat Alaves 1-0.
