Official: Barcelona starting XI against Celta Vigo | La Liga | OneFootball

At long last, FC Barcelona arrive at their first game back from the international break. Now set to take on Celta Vigo away from home, the Catalan giants have a lot of pressure to get the win. However, it would be a massive error from Barcelona if they underestimate their opponents.

After having suffered defeat last time out against Real Sociedad, La Blaugrana will be aiming for victory this time around. For that reason, it was expected that Hansi Flick would field as strong an eleven as he possibly could for this La Liga clash.

As has now been confirmed by the official starting line-up that the club has released, that just so happens to be the case.

In goal, without any surprises, Inaki Pena is the player who gets to start for Barcelona. His form and displays in recent games has been commendable, so it makes sense why Hansi Flick continues to put his faith in his abilities.

Right in front of him, Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi start in the centre of the defensive line. Both of the two Spaniards have proven to have quite the formidable partnership this season, and the German coach will be hoping they can continue to prove that.

On either side of the two central defenders, Jules Kounde and Gerard Martin will be starting for Barcelona. They will be hoping to provide additional width for the team as Barça would be looking to stretch out Celta Vigo as much as possible.

Right in front of them, Marc Casado and Gavi make up the defensive midfield of the team as the latter makes his first start for Barcelona after quite a long wait. The energy and tenacity they both will provide could end up being crucial, but the technical qualities they possess would be just as welcome of an asset as well.

In terms of the attacking midfielders and the wide players, Dani Olmo starts on the left side of the attack while Raphinha will be playing on the right. Right in between them, however, will be Pedri, and the Spaniard will be looking to feed dangerous passes to his forwards as much as possible.

Lastly, Robert Lewandowski is the man who starts up top for Barcelona and he will be wanting to get on the scoresheet again today. To remain competitive at the top of the European goalscoring charts, the Pole will definitely want some goals today for himself.
