Barcelona will be looking to reach the final of the Spanish Super Cup when they take on bitter rivals Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the competition on Wednesday.
The Catalan giants are the most successful team in the history of the tournament, lifting the trophy on 13 occasions, but they lost to Athletic Bilbao in last season's final.
Barcelona will enter the semi-final off the back of a 1-1 draw with Granada on Saturday, which has left them in sixth position in the La Liga table.
