Barcelona will begin the defence of their La Liga title away to Getafe on Sunday night.

Xavi's side secured the championship with four games to spare last season and ultimately finished 10 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the division.

The Catalan giants will enter this contest off the back of a 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy final on Tuesday night.
