Barcelona look to finish 2015 on another high

Adding to the Spanish league title, Copa del Rey, Champions League and Uefa Super Cup they had already won over the calendar year, Luis Enrique’s men lifted further silverware on December 20 in the form of the Club World Cup. As they prepare for their first match since then, the picture in the Primera Division sees them top on goal difference, with a game in hand over second-placed Atletico Madrid.
Prior to taking part in the Club World Cup tournament in Japan, Barca were held to back-to-back draws by Valencia and then Deportivo La Coruna.
