Barcelona will look to bounce back from their Clasico setback against Real Madrid as they host Villarreal in a La Liga contest at Camp Nou on Thursday. Xavi's men were beaten 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu and have won only one of their last four games in all competitions.
The Clasico defeat brought an end to the Blaugrana's seven-game winning streak in the league.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery's outfit registered a much-needed 2-0 win over Osasuna to pick their first league victory in five games. The Yellow Submarine have also booked their spot in the Europa Conference League round of 16.
