Can the Catalan giants bounce back?
2017 hasn’t begun well for the reigning league and cup champions. A defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the first-leg of their Copa del Rey tie kicked off a return from the winter break, before drawing 1-1 with Villarreal to lose further ground to Real Madrid in the Spanish Primera Division title race.
The poor officiating that tends to go in the Blaugrana’s went against them both times, as they were denied a penalty in each of their two games in 2017. However, they have got 90 minutes at Camp Nou to salvage their Copa del Rey hopes.
Luis Enrique will likely start an identical starting eleven to the first-leg, with Rakitic likely to return to the lineup after starting on the bench vs. Villarreal. Messi, Neymar, and Suarez will be let loose once more, with Umtiti and Mascherano fighting for that center-back position alongside Pique.
Athletic will be without Iturraspe and Raul Garcia – both were sent off in the 2-1 win. In their spot, Benat Etxebarria and Javier Eraso will probably start. Elsewhere, a similar starting eleven can be expected.
