26 Here they take on an Elche side desperate for points in a seemingly hopeless battle to avoid the drop. It’s been four long years, but Barcelona look as if they’re finally about to get their hands back on the LaLiga trophy. Over the course of the next 90 minutes, I’ll be bringing you build-up, team news and plenty, plenty more. They are joined on the treatment table for this clash by defender Andreas Christensen. Thanks for that one, guys. He's Elche's fourth (yes, fourth) manager this season after Machín, Jorge Almirón and Francisco. Two wins in 26 league matches, one and home and one away. He looks like he could be the front man in a Nirvana tribute band but this is in fact new Elche boss Sebastián Beccacace. Let's not beat around the bush here. Is that Eric García in midfield? Ronala Araújo is fit to play, Frenkie de Jong isn't.

According to ESPN Argentina's Martin Arevalo, Lionel Messi will leave PSG this summer, with the 35-year-old's happiness being at FC Barcelona.

Now, it is being claimed that Messi himself has his heart set on a return to his old stomping grounds and is willing to try his best to secure a move back to Catalonia, even if it meant that he plays for free. Only a few months ago, it looked likely that the superstar would renew with PSG and stay in France for at least one more year. The Argentina captain will do his best to try and return to his boyhood club even if it means that he might have to play for free.

I am motivated to return the confidence the club has placed in me.” Lewandowski hadn’t scored in five games – three with Barcelona and two with Poland – since his goal against Manchester United in a 2-0 loss in the Europa League on Feb.
