Ernesto Valverde has signed a new contract at Barcelona to commit his future to the Nou Camp until 2020.
There is also the option for a further season on the deal to extend it until 2021.
Valverde has won La Liga and the Copa del Rey in his debut season in charge, with the Blaugrana well set in both competitions again this term.
Lyon await in the Champions League last 16, as Valverde bids to make amends for their collapse in the quarter-finals last season vs Roma.
Barcelona were also close to clinching an unbeaten campaign in La Liga, losing late in the campaign to Levante to scupper the historic achievement.
Show all 11 1 /11Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Claudio Bravo Barcelona have the best defensive record in the league and the most clean sheets, Bravo has been fantastic in his debut season at the Nou Camp and is excellent with the ball at his feet - a necessity. Iker Casillas is not as bad as some would have you believe, he is a long way from what he once was.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Dani Alves Not able to race up and down the pitch quite as he once was but the Brazilian is still a key outlet for this team and a fiery defender. It'll be very difficult finding a replacement for a very unique player.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Sergio Ramos A great defender, although he can cross the line between aggressive and dirty if things are not going his way. Possesses great talent on the ball, a threat in the opposition box, but don't be surprised if he sees red.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Gerard Pique Has returned to the kind of form that made him the world's best under Pep Guardiola, no matter who is playing alongside him. Brilliant on the ball, strong in the tackle and dominant in the air, he is the best both teams have to offer.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Jordi Alba Marcelo has been a much improved defender this season but Alba is the superior option in defence and attack. His pace and energy are crucial to Barca's high pressing game.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Toni Kroos Xabi Alonso has been forgotten far more quickly than could have been anticipated because of the ease with which Kroos has slipped in. A true great in possession, Kroos perhaps is found a bit wanting in his defensive duties but one of the best in his possession in the world.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Isco During Real's bad patch since the turn of the year Isco has been the one bright, consistent spot for Carlo Ancelotti. Another who is superb on the ball and has the ability to drive his team forward with his low centre of gravity. This team is perhaps a touch attacking, and Sergio Busquets will play as bigger a role as any of the stars during the game.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Andres Iniesta Still the master. Age may have finally caught up with long-time partner Xavi but Iniesta shows no signs of slowing. Yaya Toure and Fernandinho couldn't get near him on Wednesday night and while he has lost a little bit of pace, his brain is as sharp as any in world football.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Lionel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo may have won the Ballon d'Or at the turn of the year but Lionel Messi has easily been the best player in the world since then. Where Ronaldo has struggled (by their standards) - nine goals in 14 matches - Messi has thrived with 20 in his last 17.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Luis Suarez After taking a few weeks to work it out, his Barcelona debut in the Bernabeu was a real struggle, Suarez has finally clicked with his new team-mates. He may not quite be as prolific as he was during his Liverpool days but he is forming a nightmarish front three with Messi and Neymar that cannot be stopped.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid combined XI Cristiano Ronaldo Even if he is struggling a bit, are you really going to leave Ronaldo out? Messi might be in better form, but no other player comes close to striking terror into opponents as much as the Portuguese. Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema have been anonymous lately, while Neymar is unlucky to miss out.
Valverde has overseen 96 games, winning 65 of them for a win percentage of 68 per cent, as well as scoring 233 goals and conceding just 78.
