Barcelona vs Levante matchup
- Young midfielder Thiago labelled the teams performance as "complete" following the 3-0 win at Zaragoza last week, perhaps he was being a little modest after scoring the opener and assisting the other goals.
- Sergio Busquets is now out, so the midfield will probably be Alex Song, Thiago and Andrés Iniesta, as Xavi will be rested for the Champions League.
- Lionel Messi faces a race against time for the semi-final first leg, so Cesc Fàbregas can operate in the 'false nine' role once more with Cristian Tello out wide.
- Levante struggled with the speed of Deportivo's counter attacks as they faced a team that are displaying amazing confidence last time around.
- The team still don't have any injury problems, but Vicente Iborra has picked up too many yellow cards throughout the season, so is forced to sit this one out.
- José Barkero is the likeliest partner for Pape Diop in the centre of midfield, with Míchel occupying the more attacking position, Rubén García could be given a rest with Nabil El Zhar coming in.
