Barcelona take on Villarreal on Sunday in La Liga is what is both teams’ final fixture of the year and the last before the winter break.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick offered a measured assessment after his side edged past CD Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey round of 32.

And, according to Marta Ramon of RAC1, Flick has chosen Szczesny to be his starter for the cup tie tonight against Guadalajara.
