"Barcelona play their final game before the last international break of the season as the Catalans travel to Balaídos for what is always a brutal away match against Celta Vigo in La Liga. After a very disappointing draw away to Club Brugge in the Champions League, the Blaugrana need a good performance to avoid two weeks of very loud noise if they're unable to conquer a very well-coached Celta side that always causes Barça all kinds of problems."
"Barça's defense was an absolute nightmare in Belgium and Hansi Flick has endured a ton of criticism for his defensive tactics, which he has vowed not to change in the foreseeable future. So it's up to the players to execute the coach's instructions better, and Flick will likely be forced into a personnel change at the back with Eric Garcia not expected to start on Sunday due to a broken nose."
Barcelona travel to Balaídos to face Celta Vigo in La Liga and need a strong response after a disappointing draw at Club Brugge. Hansi Flick has faced heavy criticism for defensive issues but intends to keep his tactical approach unchanged. Eric Garcia is not expected to start because of a broken nose, prompting Pau Cubarsí to return alongside Ronald Araujo while Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde keep the full-back roles. The midfield trio of Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong and Fermín López is projected to remain intact. Ferran Torres is likely to lead the attack supported by Marcus Rashford and Lamine Yamal.
