Meanwhile, Barcelona are through to the quarter-final of this season's Europa League after putting up a spectacular performance to defeat Galatasaray 2-1 in Turkey.

The first leg of this fixture had ended goalless at the Camp Nou as Xavi's men failed to take advantage of their home support, setting up a mouthwatering reverse fixture in Istanbul.

But the Catalan giants had to come from behind to win the game courtesy of an equaliser by Pedri, before Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang secured the win.

After the full-time whistle, Barca boss Xavi praised his team's efforts.

“We played a match of huge personality. It was a great performance to fight back in a ground like this against a very good team. They knew how to defend against us but we were patient. I’m very happy for my players.
