BAR vs ATH Dream11: Barcelona come into this on the back of an impressive 4-2 victory away to Napoli in the second-leg of their UEFA Europa League knockout playoff tie to win the match 5-3 on aggregate. Both legs showed reasons as to why Xavi’s side are beginning a real improvement and their 4-1 hammering of Valencia last weekend was also extremely impressive. They now come up against an Athletic Club side, under the management of Marcelino, that hammered Basque rivals Real Sociedad by four goals to nil last weekend. Despite that impressive form, Barcelona will still come into this as the firm favourites with their home advantage.
