The weeks follow one another and look the same for the Barca. Far from its level last spring, the Catalan club continues its lackluster performances, in La Liga and in the Champions League. Beaten by their Madrid rival in a one-sided Clasico (1-2), the Blaugrana have not really reassured since. The spectacular draw on the Bruges pitch in the middle of the week confirmed that this team with the flaws of its qualities (3-3).
Despite an impressive offensive strike force, this Barça is far too fragile defensively. Hansi Flick will have to tighten the screws on the Celta de Vigo pitch this Sunday (9 p.m.). The only bright spot: the rise to power of Lamine Yamal. Author of a fantastic goal in Belgium, the Spanish international has lost none of his virtuosity. He will still be the attraction of this championship game.
The expected compositions
Celta de Vigo : Villar; Rodriguez, Starfelt, Alonso; Mingueza, Beltran, Moriba, Carreira; Jutgla, Iglesias, Zaragoza
Barcelona : Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, De Jong; Yamal, Fermin, Rashford; Torres
