Barcelona are on a long unbeaten run.
Their unbeaten run is up to 22 games but their last match was a 1-1 home draw with Real Betis after taking an early lead. That draw ended a run of seven successive wins.

Barcelona & Borussia Dortmund Squad Analysis
Barcelona will be looking to build a lead to take to Dortmund for the second leg. The fact however that they have already won in Dortmund this season will make them even more confident of reaching the last four.
Raphina is the top scorer in this season's Champions League with 11 goals. Barca wanted to ensure he was fit to try and add to that impressive total and rested him at the weekend. He is fully expected to return to the starting line-up for this game.
Lewandowski faces his former club.
Robert Lewandowski will be fit to face his former club. He's scored nine goals in this season's Champions League so Dortmund really need to be at their defensive best for this match. Missing for the home side will be Dani Olmo with Inigo Martinez doubtful
Borussia Dortmund have already lost once in Spain this season, being beaten 5-2 at Real Madrid. Only two of their last 12 away games have seen them keep a clean sheet. They will be without Marcel Sabitzer or this first leg so that will make life even tougher in midfield.
Sehrou Guirassy was rested at the weekend and will be a vital player for them. He scored twice against Barcelona in the league phase and has scored ten Champions League goals this season, only Raphina has more.
