After back-to-back disappointments in the other two competitions, attention now focuses on the Copa del Rey and a trip to the Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.
And there is good news, because Xavi has recovered the services of Ansu Fati, who missed the Almería game with a bad knee.
The squad that travels to Madrid is as follows: Ter Stegen, R. Araujo, Sergio, Gavi, Ansu Fati, Ferran, Iñaki Peña, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Kessie, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Raphinha, Kounde, Eric, Balde, Pablo Torre, Arnau Tenas, A. Alarcón and Estanis.
