The ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw for Barcelona at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan which has made their rivals Real Madrid overtake them on La Liga table after beating Real Sociedad 2-1.

Gerard Pique after the match said it will be difficult to overtake Los Blancos after surrounding the lead to Zinedine Zidane's men on a head-to-head rule.

However, Barca coach Quique Setien believes they are still in contention to retain the title despite dropping points at Sevilla.

It is understood that La Blaugrana have entered talks with their talisman Messi for a new contract as his present deal is set to expire during the summer.

Barcelona will host Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, June 23 at the Camp Nou and then before travelling to take Celta Vigo on Saturday.
