Barcelona have only lost two of their 37 home matches against English clubs and are unbeaten against them in 14, ever since Craig Bellamy rocked up to play a little golf back in 2007. History isn't Newcastle United's friend here.
Following a hard-fought but crucial win over Athletic Club at the weekend to maintain their four-point lead at the top of the La Liga table, Barcelona turn their attentions to European matters as the Catalans travel to England for a massive Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Tuesday night.
Extending on their Europa League adventure on February 26th as they secured a 3-1 aggregate victory against PAOK, Claudio Giraldez's side have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions. Likewise, despite suffering major heartbreak at the hands of Los Blancos last time out, Celta should be excited by their overall success on home soil.
