The octopus named "Messi", also known as the clear-sighted octopus, predicts the victory in the battle of Spanish giants for the club.
Next weekend, the Catalans will travel to Madrid to play crucial national championship matches against the local team Real.
In the southern part of Spain, near Malaga, the eight-legged creature was allowed to choose on Monday from which box to eat sardines - one with the logo of "Real" or "Barcelona". The octopus chose the latter option.
The prognostic abilities of octopuses came into the spotlight during the 2010 World Cup, when Paul, who lived in Germany, predicted the outcome of all of Germany's national team matches and Spain's triumph in the final.
