Barcelona will be aiming to make it eight straight wins in all competitions when they host Real Betis in La Liga on Saturday night.
Hansi Flick's side booked their spot in the final of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night courtesy of a 1-0 success over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-four clash.
The Catalan giants are currently top of the La Liga table, three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, and they have been victorious in each of their last nine league fixtures during a stunning run.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Real Betis, who have triumphed in their last six league games.
