Barcelona play their ultimate sport earlier than the final worldwide break of the season because the Catalans journey to Balaídos for what’s at all times a brutal away match in opposition to Celta Vigo in La Liga.
After a really disappointing draw away to Membership Brugge within the Champions League, the Blaugrana want a great efficiency to keep away from two weeks of very loud noise in the event that they’re unable to overcome a really well-coached Celta aspect that at all times causes Barça all types of issues.

Right here’s how we predict Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Sunday’s battle:
Protection
Barça’s protection was an absolute nightmare in Belgium and Hansi Flick has endured a ton of criticism for his defensive ways, which he has vowed to not change within the foreseeable future.
So it’s as much as the gamers to execute the coach’s directions higher, and Flick will doubtless be compelled right into a personnel change on the again with Eric Garcia not anticipated to begin on Sunday attributable to a damaged nostril. That may imply a return to the XI for Pau Cubarsí alongside Ronald Araujo, with Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde retaining their full-back spots regardless of not doing a lot to deserve them currently.

Midfield
Dani Olmo performed a half-hour within the second half in opposition to Brugge and continues to construct up his health to return to the lineup after the worldwide break, however we don’t assume he’s prepared to begin simply but which implies no adjustments to the midfield trio of Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong and Fermín López for the journey to Vigo.
Assault
Identical to Olmo in midfield, Robert Lewandowski is near returning to the beginning lineup however most likely higher suited to take action after the worldwide break, so the Pole will doubtless be on the bench for this one and Ferran Torres will lead the road as soon as extra, with Marcus Rashford and Lamine Yamal retaining their spots on the wings.
Doable XI: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Balde; Casadó, De Jong; Yamal, Fermín, Rashford; Ferran (4-2-3-1)
