Barcelona is set to face Celta Vigo aiming to widen their LaLiga lead despite a recent defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

Celta Vigo, having lost their last game, are nevertheless strong contenders for European qualification, trailing Real Betis. Their recent performances include a solid unbeaten run, demonstrating their competitiveness in the league. All eyes will be on the match, as both teams have strong motivations.
"We played against an excellent side in Borussia Dortmund, who made life impossible for us," manager Hansi Flick said, adding that being in the final four is "the only thing that matters."
"We have to look at the positives and not the negatives. We have a great team who have done brilliantly up to now and that is what matters... it will be important to look back at this game and accept what happened."
Celta Vigo, aiming for European qualification, have only Barca and Real Betis above them in terms of points gained in the last nine league matches.
