FC Barcelona v Celta Vigo: Tough test for the leaders | FC Barcelona
Barça and Luis Enrique face another tough test on Saturday. After losing at the Bernabéu last week, they need three points to ensure that they at least continue having a share of the lead in La Liga with fellow table-toppers Sevilla.

Luis Enrique: "Celta is a very special match for me" | FC Barcelona
Luis Enrique doesn’t believe that Celta will either be an especially easy game to prepare for, because he knows the team so well, or a particularly hard one because of the quality of one of the surprise packages of the Liga season so far and who have yet to lose an away fixture. "But there’s no doubt that Celta is a very special match for me because I know all the players" said the man who was in charge of the Vigo based club before coming to Barça in the summer.

The last time Celta won away to Barcelona it was two months before the attack on Pearl Harbour, the US hadn’t entered World War II and the Camp Nou was 16 years away from hosting its first match.

Celta’s visit to the Camp Nou will involve plenty of reunions. No fewer than four products of the Barça academy, all of which managed to make first team debuts, are now plying their trade in Vigo.

Celta only Liga side unbeaten away | FC Barcelona
Celta Vigo are coming to the Camp Nou on the back of what has been a solid season so far. They’re comfortably poised in sixth place, six points behind leaders FC Barcelona, which would mean Europa League football next season if they can hold on to that position. And they owe much of that success to their away form. They have yet to lose a game on the road. And not one of the other 19 teams in the first division can say that.
