Leo Messi and Luis Suarez are both expected to return for Barcelona today as they take on Malaga.
Messi took a slight knock last weekend, and sat out of the team’s midweek Copa del Rey meeting with Bilbao. Luis Suarez also missed the match, but that was due to a suspension following a post-match altercation earlier in the tournament.
The return is positive against a strong Malaga side, who have climbed to 12th in the league table. Malaga have conceded just five goals at home the entire season, tied with Atletico Madrid for the lowest mark so far.
Barca face a tough matchup to start three games in seven days. Today’s match is followed by the second Cup leg against Bilbao, and concludes with a massive showdown against Atletico next week.
Today’s match starts at 10:00 a.m. Eastern and will be available on beIN Sports Connect in the USA. There is no way to stream in the UK for free, but users in the States have several options, including SlingTV and FuboTV.
Here’s how to watch the match online and on mobile:
