The Catalonians lead the domestic competition in Spain, where they defend the title won last season. In the two League matches of this season, the team from Barcelona won at the Calderon by 1-2 and 2-1 at the Camp Nou.

FC Barcelona also defends the European crown after beating Juventus last season in the final played in Berlin (3-1). Luis Enrique's players have an immaculate record in the Champions League, since they have not lost one match. They advanced in the group stage with four wins and two ties and won a spot in the last 16 leading their group. Leo Messi and Luis Suárez are the top scorers of the Blaugranas in the European competition; both have scored six goals, followed by Neymar, with three.

Our last fixture in the Champions League is favourable, since two seasons ago; we knocked out FC Barcelona after drawing at the Camp Nou (1-1) and winning at the Calderón 1-0 with a goal by Koke.
