Barcelona vs Celta Vigo – Predicted lineup and team news

Barcelona will aim to claim another win and maintain their nine-point advantage at the top of La Liga when they host Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on Wednesday evening.

The Catalan side is in excellent domestic form, winning their last seven league matches, including a convincing 4-1 victory over Espanyol. However, they come into this game looking to respond after their Champions League exit, where they were knocked out by Atletico Madrid despite winning the second leg 2-1.

Barcelona team news

Hansi Flick has received a timely boost with Pau Cubarsí returning from suspension and likely stepping straight back into the starting lineup.

There’s also positive news in midfield, as Frenkie de Jong and Pedri are both fit and expected to start together for the first time in three months, adding stability and creativity.

That said, Barcelona are still dealing with some injury issues. Raphinha remains sidelined with a hamstring problem, while Andreas Christensen continues his recovery from a long-term knee injury. Marc Bernal is also a doubt due to an ankle concern.
