La Liga leaders Barcelona take on European hopefuls Celta Vigo in Catalonia on Saturday afternoon at Estadi Olímpic Lluis Companys.
Hansi Flick’s side were beaten for the first time in 2025 on Tuesday night, but Borussia Dortmund’s 3-1 victory in Germany wasn’t enough to prevent Barca from reaching the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2019.
The damage had been done in the first leg, where Barca triumphed 4-0, but there’s no denying that they were as poor as they’ve been in months at Signal Iduna Park.
The hosts can ill-afford to sleepwalk through Saturday’s domestic contest against a Celta team that have blossomed into one of La Liga’s surprise packages this term. While they recently had an eight-game unbeaten run snapped by Espanyol, Celta have placed themselves to compete for a top-six finish.
The Sky Blues currently sit seventh in the table and are five points adrift of Real Betis with seven games remaining. Barca, meanwhile, can extend their lead at the summit to seven points before Real Madrid take on Athletic Club on Sunday night.
