FC Barcelona will face Celta Vigo on 19th April, at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. This game is the match-day 32 of La Liga season. Let’s discuss what can we expect in this exciting game.
The Importance
Barcelona are in a great form in 2025, they are the only unbeaten team and should maintain their great form. The La Liga season has reached the crunch stages, there are only seven games left for the season. From now on, every game is crucial for Barcelona. This game is of immense importance and Barcelona need to deliver. Barcelona should continue their form and should get the better of Vigo. A single mistake could cost us big time, at this time of the season even a draw will be a loss for us.
Expected Lineups
Barcelona’s possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Martin; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha; Lewandowski
In my opinion, this is the best possible lineup right now we could go into this game, taking the injuries and suspensions into measure. But Flick should also look to rotate things to give some rest to Lamine, Pedri and Kounde. If the game starts off well and we get a good grip of the game, these substitutions could be considered to prevent fatigue and injuries at this crucial time period of the season.
What to Expect?
The last meeting with Vigo ended in a 2-2 draw away from home. Barcelona had a good 2-goal lead, but Barcelona choked the lead due to a red card. In my opinion, this could be a difficult game for Barcelona, Vigo’s counter attacking play is very dangerous, especially the player quality they inherit. Barcelona’s defense in the previous game against Dortmund was poorly organized which led to the 3 goals. I think Hansi Flick should focus on getting the job done with the right players in the starting squad.
