What has the massive El Clasico win on Sunday April 23 done to overturn FC Barcelona's morale in the most exciting stage of the La Liga 2016-17 season? That remains to be seen as the Spanish giants clash swords with Osasuna on Wednesday April 26 in their 34th domestic game of the season.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, take on Deportivo La Coruna, in the other big La Liga fixture of the day.
Thanks to their goal difference, Barca are atop the La Liga table currently. On the account of wins for both Real and Barca on Wednesday against the struggling Deportivo and the relegation-threatened Osasuna, the El Clasico sides will move to 78 points and Barca will keep leading the table.
Having said that, Real have a game on hand and that could turn out to be a major game-changer, at this stage.
With the El Clasico on Sunday leaving most of the players drained, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique could be looking to rotating his side. The likes of Andrés Iniesta, Gerard Piqué and Luis Luis Suárez could get an off-day.
Neymar, meanwhile, will be serving his final suspension on Wednesday.
Expected starting XI
Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Mascherano, Umtiti, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Gomes; Messi; Suárez, Alcácer.
Osasuna: Sirigu; Buñuel, Oier, Márquez, Fuentes, Clerc; Fausto, Torres, Causic; León, Kodro.
