FC Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez is set to implement three significant lineup changes as his team prepares to face Athletic Club in a La Liga showdown in Bilbao on Sunday night. With their arch-rivals Real Madrid drawing 2-2 against Valencia in a contentious match, a victory for Barcelona could narrow the gap to just six points in the title race.
The upcoming match at San Mames poses a tough challenge for Barcelona, as Athletic Club is riding high after securing a spot in the Copa del Rey final. Adding to the pressure, former Barca manager Ernesto Valverde's squad holds the psychological edge following their recent victory over Barcelona in the same competition.
