The opposition

Eibar have never beaten Barça since their first fixture in 2014. Since then, of the 13 times the two sides have played each other, Barça have won 11 and drawn the other two.

This will be their last chance to do so for now, as the Basque side will be relegated from the Spanish top-flight after this match and will play in the Segunda Division next season.

Kick-off is at 6.00pm CEST and you can find out the schedules and broadcasters here. Wherever you are in the world, there is a way of following FC Barcelona's final fixture of the campaign.

Eibar have lost just one of their last four LaLiga matches (W2 D1), but that defeat confirmed their relegation to LaLiga SmartBank.

Eibar boss José Luis Mendilibar has avoided defeat in two of his last four LaLiga matches against FC Barcelona (D2), the same number of times has had in his previous 18 matches against them in the competition (W1 D1).

Ronald Koeman has won 76 points in 37 games for Barcelona in LaLiga (W23 D7 L7). The last Barça coach to win 76 or fewer points in his first 38 games with the club was Frank Rijkaard in 2003/04 (72 - W21 D9 L8).
