Osasuna - Barcelona
The Catalans received the toughest draw in the playoffs for a place in the round of 16 of the Europa League, when they were drawn for a pair of meetings against Manchester United in a replay of the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals.
In the last game of Xavi's team before the World Cup break, they will try to get out of first place with a gap of five points from Real Madrid, at least until the Blancos' compensatory game on Thursday against Cadiz.
Since the loss in the Clasico, Barcelona with four consecutive victories, in all of which they kept a clean sheet.
The pleasant surprise of the season in Spain, Osasuna, is already in fifth place, and with a single loss in the last five rounds will try to enter the top four leading to the Champions League next season.
The hosts have not won at home to Barcelona since the 2011/12 season, and will try to take advantage of injuries to Jules Conde, Franck Casilla and Sergi Roberto to record a surprising result.
Xavi made one change compared to the team that beat Almeria: Gerard Pique, who parted ways at Camp Nou, is on the bench tonight,
The opening was all for the host, who pressed and got their pay already in the sixth minute, when David Garcia rose first to a corner kick and hit a ball well that confused Marc-Andre ter Stegen and penetrated the net.
The Barcelona players claimed a foul in the box, but the referee used VAR and confirmed the possession.
Barcelona shifted gears, and after an inaccurate kick by Balda (23), Robert Lewandowski was stopped by Aitor Fernandez (25).
But the nervous Polish striker, who received a yellow card in the 11th minute, was sent off with a second yellow in the 30th minute, after an aggressive tackle on David Garcia.
In the added time of the first half, Fran Torres already thought he had managed to equalize, but his goal was disallowed due to an offside, which indeed it was.

Athletic Bilbao - Real Valladolid 0:3
Shawn Weissman returned to the Valladolid lineup, but once again had trouble making an impact, was replaced at the start of the second half and has only scored one goal this season - somewhere in the first round.
His team, which was in excellent momentum with three wins in its last four games, failed to be a serious opponent, and Bilbao recovered and celebrated only its second win in its last seven games, and its first home victory over Valladolid since 2013/14.
Gorka Gorosta starred with a double (18, 51), Danny Vivian added (78).
