Barcelona will look to move one step closer to securing the La Liga title when they travel to the Estadio de Vallecano to face Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday night.
The Catalan giants ended a three-game goal drought when they recorded a slender 1-0 home victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday courtesy of a first-half strike from Ferran Torres.
Xavi's side currently sit 11 points clear of reigning champions Real Madrid and they are guaranteed to get their hands on the 2022-23 title if they secure five more victories in their final eight matches of the season.
