Barcelona head into their Champions League quarter final in buoyant mood having extended their lead at the top of La Liga to four points over the weekend despite having been held to a 1-1 draw by Real Betis on Saturday night.
The draw saw Hansi Flick’s side’s seven match winning run come to an end, but saw the club extend their unbeaten run to 22 games having not lost since the turn of the year.
The Spanish league leaders are currently joint favourites to win the Champions League following a highly impressive opening season in charge under the German manager, with the club looking to be crowned European champions for the first time in 10 years.
The Catalan side finished second in the league phase of the competition with six wins from their seven games and knocked out Benfica in the last round of the competition without much fuss, and will fancy themselves to build a nice first leg lead against an underfiring Borussia Dortmund side.

Borussia Dortmund make the trip to Spain having won back to back matches in the Bundesliga following their 4-1 win at Freiburg on Saturday afternoon, but a dismal domestic season sees the club currently down in eighth place in the league standings.
Niko Kovac took over the club as manager at the beginning of February after Nuri Sahin was sacked after just seven months in charge, and the Croat has lost only two of his last nine matches since taking over a side down in 11th place in the Bundesliga.
The German side head into tonight’s quarter final as last season’s beaten finalists but have had a tricky time in the competition in the current campaign, finishing 10th in the league phase which saw them have to beat Sporting Lisbon to reach the last 16, where they just edged past a Lille side to book their trip to Barcelona.
Barcelona are unbeaten across five games against Borussia Dortmund in their history, the most recent of which came earlier this season when a late Ferran Torres goal five the Spanish side a 3-2 win in Dortmund on matchday six of the league phase.
Flick has a 100% record when managing against Borussia Dortmund, with his side scoring 17 goals across his six meetings against them, all five prior to their meeting earlier this season coming as manager of Bayern Munich.
