Barcelona and Girona meet in La Liga on Monday in a key Catalan clash.
Barcelona are looking to recover from their biggest loss of the campaign and move back to the top of the table, while Girona urgently need points as they fight to avoid relegation.
Even with the heavy Copa del Rey loss to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona had been in strong form beforehand, beating Copenhagen 4-1 in the Champions League and then earning league wins over Elche (3-1) and Mallorca (3-0).
