Barcelona will face this match against Cordoba with one eye set on defeating Los Blanquiverdes, and the other one placed on their matchup against Bayern Munich. Los Blaugranas can't afford to lose any points in their visit to Cordoba, especially considering that their hosts currently hold the last place of La Liga's standings, and their future seems rather complicated if things don't change dramatically for them.
This game will be a good chance for Los Blaugranas to celebrate Lionel Messi. The Argentinian shared on social media he will be having his second son, being handed the news just hours after celebrating his first-ever goal with Barcelona ten years ago. Messi is just one goal behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the Pichichi race, and this game seems as a good chance to elevate his goal scoring numbers.
The team's Twitter feed celebrated Messi's milestone on Friday.

Despite all their fans are already thinking about their mid-week game against Bayern, coach Luis Enrique revealed the MSN attack could be rested prior to their European tournament matchup, but he still thinks his players will not be distracted by other commitments.
This will be Barcelona's fourth game against Cordoba, and they are yet to concede a goal against los Blanquiverdes. This will also be the second time Los Culés visit the Nuevo Arcángel Stadium, with their previous match ending with a 2-0 score for them.
