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

The game between FC Barcelona and Celta Vigo is expected to kick off soon. A big clash in La Liga, it is perhaps even more important now considering the fact that Real Madrid have just dropped points against Rayo Vallecano.

Three points in this game would mean a lot, but the opposition is hardly an easy team to beat. For that reason, Hansi Flick has decided to field a strong starting eleven to take on this significant challenge.

Here is the official Barcelona starting eleven for this La Liga clash.

In goal, as expected, Wojciech Szczesny starts for Barcelona. The Polish goalkeeper has been a bit inconsistent in terms of his ball-playing recently, but he needs to be alert today.

Ahead of him, Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo start together as the two central defenders. Both players will need to be cautious in this game considering the threat that Celta Vigo poses.

On the flanks, Alejandro Balde and Eric Garcia start as the two full-backs. Both of them will need to do a lot of work in this game, but they have the quality and experience to manage it.

In the midfield, Frenkie de Jong and Marc Casado start together in the two-man pivot. Both players will need to be precise with their passing and put in the work to track back and progress the ball forward as well.

Up ahead, the wings are occupied by Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford. Both players are dangerous in their own unique ways, and Fermin Lopez starts in between them as the attacking midfielder looking to facilitate them and others when attacking.

Lastly, up top, Robert Lewandowski starts for Barcelona. The Polish veteran replaces Ferran Torres for this game, and he will be looking to make an impact in this challenging encounter against Celta Vigo.
