"Barcelona's 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday left the Catalans with a feel good factor that they will hope to take into tonight's clash with Athletic Club. Trailing 4-0 from a disastrous first leg in the last four of the Copa del Rey, Barca almost completed another remarkable remontada but fell just short."
"Each of the last five meetings between these teams has resulted in a Barcelona win, with Athletic Club failing to score in the last four. They have scored once in the last eight league meetings between the teams. Their last Liga goal from open play against Barca was a header by Inigo Martinez in August 2021."
"They head to San Mames on top of La Liga and in good shape to retain the title they won last season. Athletic were also beaten in the Copa semis, going down to Basque rivals Real Sociedad."
