Barcelona will look to get revenge on Real Madrid tonight in El Clasico as the Catalan club continue to improve under new manager Xavi.
Barca were beaten 2-1 by Madrid in the reverse fixture in October under Ronald Koeman but their fortunes turned after hiring the club legend.
Under Xavi, Barca have gone 11 games unbeaten and although they still sit 15 points behind Real Madrid, they can boost their top-four hopes with a win.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are closing in on reclaiming their LaLiga crown from city rivals Atletico and will want to wrap up the title as quickly as possible ahead of their latter stages of the Champions League.
