Barca are also undefeated in their last two matches at home in Liga having registered two consecutive victories at Nou Camp 
 
Barcelona captain and midfielder Sergio Busquets was impressed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after the Gabon striker scored a hat-trick against Valencia. 
 
"He is working very well, he arrived with a lack of minutes, but he is getting them [now]," Busquets said after the encounter. 
 
"He is a great player and it is a luxury to have him in the squad, [especially] after arriving for free. Without Aubameyang's help, perhaps the goalkeeper would have been able to stop it [Barcelona's fourth goal]."

Meanwhile, Bilbao proved too strong for Real Sociedad as they claimed a 4-0 win at home in their previous league game which was played on February 20.
 
The win saw the Lions return to winning ways in this competition after Real Mallorca had ended their four-match unbeaten run before they faced Sociedad. 
 
The defeat to Mallorca remains their last away match in La Liga and the defeat also ended their four-match unbeaten run on the road. 
 
The last league meeting between Barcelona and Bilbao was on 21 August 2021.
The two teams played to a 1-1 draw in a match which was played at San Mames which is also known as Nuevo San Mamés or San Mames Barria.
