Organised, efficient and difficult to beat, they head into next week’s Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid with renewed vigour and energy.

According to MARCA, Yannick Carrasco has suffered a post-traumatic injury of the left leg musculature.
It came as a result of a heavy challenge during the midweek game against Levante, which meant the player was unable to complete the match.
