Unionistas are the lowest-ranked team in the competition at the last-16 stage. Only one other team - Segunda Division side Tenerife - is not in La Liga.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Barca coach Xavi will hope his team can get on top in the second half of the clash in Salamanca. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/xavi-trouble-barcelona-blaugrana-chiefs-losing-faith-manager-clasico-defeat-real-madrid-supercopa-final/blt73c9ac441f470ce5" target="_blank">The former midfielder is under pressure</a> as his side have dropped to fourth in La Liga and sit eight points behind leaders Girona.
