A strong away win for Barcelona against Athletic Club the last match, as Frenkie de Jong, Antoine Griezmann and Lionel Messi (2) were on target. A La Liga defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Real Madrid.

As mentioned above, Barcelona "killed" Athletic Club in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
