The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, returns to the Spanish League after he was suspended for two games after he was sent off for the first time with his Barcelona team.
Messi leads Barcelona's offensive line, during the match between his guest Athletic Bilbao, who received a red card in front of him, and that evening the day after tomorrow, in the 21st stage of the Spanish League.
Barcelona return to the Camp Nou stadium, after playing eight consecutive away matches in all competitions.
Away matches have been a problem for Barcelona in recent seasons, but the team, led by its Dutch coach, Ronald Koeman, has won seven times during its last eight away matches, and its only defeat came at the hands of Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup final, which extended for an extra time and saw Messi sent off.
Messi returned to Barcelona during the match against Rayo Vallecano, the day before yesterday, in the 16th round of the King's Cup, where he scored a goal during this match.
Messi scored 11 goals in the Spanish League, one goal behind his former colleague, Uruguayan Luis Suarez, who is the top scorer with his new team Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla striker Youssef Al-Nosiri has 12 goals as well.
