Barcelona will be aiming to bounce back from their Champions League quarter-final elimination when they head to Bernabeu on Sunday evening to tackle rivals Real Madrid in La Liga.
Xavi's side suffered a 4-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their last-eight European contest on Tuesday, which saw them knocked out of the tournament 6-4 on aggregate.
The Catalan outfit will now switch their attention back to La Liga, where they sit second in the table, eight points behind leaders Real Madrid, who beat Manchester City to make the Champions League semi-finals.
