The Catalan outfit entered the November international break off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad, and they were then held by Celta Vigo on Saturday, conceding twice in the final stages of the La Liga contest to draw 2-2.

Hansi Flick's side are sixth in the overall Champions League table, picking up nine points from their four European matches this season.
