It's never a good time to visit Camp Nou, and for Celta Vigo, this time could be the worst ever. After losing El Clasico against Real Madrid and being exposed by their arch rival, Barcelona will try to redeem themselves in front of their home crowd against Luis Enrique's former team. So, Celta Vigo may have a hard time dealing with their former coach's crew.
Luis Enrique may want to review what went wrong at Santiago Bernabeu stadium, and some changes in their starting lineup would be in order. Jeremy Mathieu may end up giving his starting spot away to Jordi Alba, after criticizing Luis Enrique's decision about starting him as a left back rather than a center back. It is yet to be seen if Luis Suarez will earn back-to-back games after last Saturday's game. Meanwhile, Ivan Rakitic may take Andres Iniesta's spot since the midfielder came down with a calf injury against Real Madrid. Barcelona will try to balance their team prior to their next week's UEFA Champions League match against Ajax, where they are needing three points to regain the group's top spot, which now belongs to PSG.
Celta Vigo will want to defend their current Europa League position. The Sky Blue team destroyed Levante 3-0 last week, displaying quality football throughout the game. Eduardo Berizzo's team will rely on Joaquin Larrivey's efforts to score, while Spanish playmaker Nolito works by his side before his almost certain calling up with Spain's National Team. If Celta want things to go their way, then they will need a quality display from their players up top.
Barcelona's Starting XI: Bravo, Rakitic, Sergio, Suárez, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha, Mascherano, Alba, Alves, Mathieu.
Celta Vigo's Starting XI: Sergio; Hugo Mallo, Sergi Gómez, Cabral, Jonny; Krohn Dehli, Radoja, Pablo Hernández; Orellana, Larrivey, Nolito
Barcelona's Subs: Ter Stegen, Bartra, Sergi Roberto, Xavi, Pedro, Munir, Adriano.
Celta Vigo's Subs: TBA
