“Before Galatasaray, we lowered the intensity and I already said that if you lower it in current football, they will go over you," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after their win over Osasuna.
"Against Osasuna we equalled it and we played a great game. For me, one of the best since I became a coach. The fans and the players have enjoyed themselves and a win like this give us morale.
"Of our competitors, only Sevilla had failed and it was very important to win. “We started an important week for us in the best possible way with very good feelings. We are going to select the best eleven possible according to the circumstances."
The last league meeting between Madrid and Barcelona was on 24 October 2021.
