Barcelona will play their final game before Saturday's El Clasico when they welcome Shakhtar Donetsk to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys for Wednesday's Champions League clash.
After kicking off their European campaign with consecutive victories, the Catalan giants sit top of Group H, while Shakhtar are in third position with three points to their name.
The Blaugrana have failed to progress from the group stage in their last two Champions League campaigns, but they are well set to end their wait for a knockout appearance after winning both of their opening two matches.
Xavi's charges flew out of the blocks with a dominant 5-0 win over Royal Antwerp on matchday one, before they produced a professional away performance to edge out Porto via a narrow 1-0 scoreline.
Those two results have helped Barcelona make an unbeaten start to the 2023-24 campaign, with their undefeated streak currently standing at 12 games after recording a narrow league victory over Athletic Bilbao in Sunday's home meeting, where debutant Marc Guiu scored the winning goal within 23 seconds of his arrival as a substitute.
