La Liga leaders Barca laboured to a 2-1 win at Las Palmas on Saturday.
The result extended their unbeaten run to 32 games, 26 of which have been wins.
But it came at a cost.
Mundo Deportivo claim Barca arrived late back at their base following the result and are already on their way to London for tomorrow's Champions League clash with the Gunners.
Arsenal also played on Saturday - a 0-0 FA Cup fifth-round draw with Hull at the Emirates.
They are unbeaten in five outings but have failed to score in four of their last seven outings.
