Real Betis defender Marc Bartra insists they're capable of beating Barcelona.

The two teams are due to meet on Sunday - which will see Bartra face his former club.

Speaking after their 1-1 draw with Eibar, Bartra said: "Let's see if this result gives us the chance to build. They are two points that escaped, but I want to be optimistic and we are eight points from Europe and there are many games left.

"I think football has to give us back for what we are doing.

"Now, we must think of Barcelona, which we can stand up to with all our passionate fans."
