BARCELONA NEWS

After a deep crisis, it seems that Barcelona found their rhythm again. Messi, Suarez and Neymar finally showed their magic in the last couple of weeks and reminded everyone watching of the prolific season they had last year. After a victory in San Sebastian, Luis Enrique might rest his most important players and focus on Primera Division.

REAL SOCIEDAD NEWS

While Barcelona is on a rise, Real Sociedad is declining. They are still 5th in Primera Division, but a 4-0 hammering by the hands of Sevilla 2 weeks ago showed they don't have the strength or quality to fight for the very top of the table. Barcelona defeated them in the first leg and Sociedad's chances to qualify for the next round are really slim. Like Barcelona, they will probably give the chance to some players who didn't have much playing time this season.

SUMMING UP!

Barcelona is a huge favorite in this match. They found their rhythm and they will try to extend their winning series.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad is not in a particularly good form currently and they are focused on Primera Division.
