Having progressed from Group D in top spot with an unbeaten record, we overcame Ajax in the quarter-finals to set up a semi-final encounter with Barcelona, who we faced at the same stage of the competition last season.

We head to the Estadi Olympic Lluis Companys for the first leg on Saturday, where both sides will be looking to stamp their authority on the tie with all eyes on taking one step closer to the coveted final in Bilbao next month.
