For the 6th day of La Liga, FC Barcelona hosts Celta Vigo at 6:30 p.m. at the Lluís-Companys Olympic Stadium (follow the match live on FM). Still undefeated since the start of the season, Xavi’s players have been quite attractive for 2 matches with 10 goals scored and none conceded. Champion last season, FC Barcelona still left a taste of unfinished business in the game. The Catalans remain on 5 consecutive victories and must maintain the pace to continue to follow Real Madrid but also Girona which is making an excellent start of the season. Opposite, the Vigo players are experiencing a difficult start to the season under the orders of Rafael Benitez. Only 4 points in 5 days and 17th place in the standings for just one victory. Winner of Barça last season on home turf, Celta must launch their 23/34 exercise and create momentum.
On the pitch, Xavi still has to do without Pedri with a long-term injury. Félix continues on the left side of the attack with Lewandowski and Yamal who is also a starter. In the middle, Romeu will be supported by Gündoğan and De Jong. Behind Koundé is aligned in the axis with Christensen. On the Vigo side, it will be a 5-man defense with Mingueza and Ristic in pistons, Nunez, Starfelt and Dominguez in central defense. The midfield will be made up of De La Torre, Beltran and Bamba.
