The first test will be against AC Milan, where Barça could seal qualification to the last-eight of the Champions League. The second match is the first 'El Clásico' of the season, which will take place on Saturday.
Barça's slip-up at El Sadar has rejuvenated Real Madrid, who could turn La Liga upside-down with a victory at the Camp Nou. However, a win for the home side would see Barça move six points clear of Real in the table.
'El Tata' Martino now has all his key players to choose from, with the exception of Jordi Alba. After beating Ajax and Celtic, Barça has the chance to practically seal qualification for the next stage of the Champions League.
If Barça were to defeat Milan, it would maintain its lead at the top of the group, five points clear of second place with just three games remaining.
Nevertheless, the real test is likely to be the clash against Real Madrid, who, although it has yet to find its true style of play, could feasibly walk away from the Camp Nou with the three points in the bag.
In the Catalan city, it was widely believed that Ancelotti's men would go into the game with a five-point deficit, but Barça's draw at Osasuna has given 'Los Blancos' a new lease of life in La Liga.
