Barcelona are preparing for their upcoming match to stay in the race with their old rivals Real Madrid in an attempt to win a third straight Spanish La Liga title.

Barcelona will host Athletic Bilbao on Saturday at Camp Nou. The Catalan giants are currently 4 points behind Real Madrid, just past the halfway mark of the season, and the league leaders also have a game in hand.

Barca had eliminated Athletic Bilbao from the Copa del Ray with a 4-3 aggregate win. French defender Luca Dinya and Spanish midfielders Andres Iniesta and Serjio Busquets have recovered from their injuries and trained with the rest of their teammates on Friday.

Barca also defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the Copa del Ray semi-final first leg on Wednesday, with the return leg to be played next week at Camp Nou.
