Meanwhile, Barcelona thumped Granada 4-0 in their last away match in the league which was played on 9 January 2021. 
 
The win extended Barca's unbeaten run to four matches on the road in La Liga having registered four consecutive victories. 
 
Ronald Koeman, the Barcelona manager, says his side is still on the right path despite their recent defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Supercopa de Espana final.
 
“It’s not a step backwards. A title is convenient to show that you’re on the right path," Koeman said. 
 
"But we’ve still shown that we are. We’ve done everything to win, but we were very tired. For many players, it will prove a good experience to have played in this final.”
