FC Barcelona vs Celta Vigo Lineups, Projected Starting XIs for La Liga Clash

FC Barcelona are back in action in La Liga this weekend, looking to get back to winning ways after a hiccup before the November international break.

The Blaugrana are traveling to the northwest coast of Spain to take on Celta de Vigoon Saturday, motivated to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad two weeks ago.

Barcelona thought they took the lead in the 13th minute by way of a Robert Lewandowski strike, but the video assistant referee would overturn the goal, controversially claiming that the forward was offside in the build-up to the goal.

Real Sociedad would take the lead in the 33rd minute thanks to Sheraldo Becker, who pounced on a loose ball in behind the Barcelona defense and cooly dispatched it past Inaki Pena for the winner.

The Catalans still sit firmly atop the Spanish first division standings with 33 points after 13 matches, six ahead of rivals Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.

Celta, meanwhile, are fresh off a 2-2 draw with Real Betis in Seville. Los Celestes were minutes away from a huge win away from home, before Betis’ defender Marc Bartra leveled the score in the 95th minute to split the spoils.

Celta are unbeaten over their last three games in all competitions, defeating Getafe 1-0 in the league and easily beating UD San Pedro 5-1 in the Copa del Rey.

Claudio Giraldez’s squad currently sit in 11th place in La Liga, with five wins, two draws and six defeats through 13 matchdays.
