Coach Luis Enrique has selected the usual squad for the clash with his former club, Celta Vigo.
It is time to go back to the winning ways in La Liga for Barcelona, as the Blaugrana welcome Celta Vigo to Camp Nou on Saturday, eager to erase the pain of the El Clásico loss to Real Madrid with a strong showing against a equally strong opponent. Celta are even better than they were last year (under current Barça coach, Luis Enrique), and they look to be a tough adversary for the Catalans.
That is why Luis Enrique decided to select the best players available to form the squad for the encounter with his former club. Enrique rested most of the important first team players in the Catalunya Super Cup game against Espanyol. The strategy worked, since Barça won their first title in fourteen months, while still getting to rest the guys with more minutes played thus far. So, for the game against the Vigo side tonight, he's going to have his best men ready for battle.
Well, not all of them. Due to a calf injury, Andrés Iniesta is still out of the lineup. Douglas and Vermaelen are still training away from the group, and once again weren't ready for selection. Per Enrique's decision, Gerard Piqué, Jordi Masip and Martín Montoya won't get a shot at playing tonight.
So these are the eighteen men named by Lucho:
1. Ter Stegen, 13. Claudio Bravo, 4. Ivan Rakitic, 5. Sergio Busquets, 6. Xavi, 7. Pedro Rodríguez, 9. Luis Suárez, 10. Lionel Messi, 11. Neymar, 12. Rafinha Alcântara, 14. Javier Mascherano, 15. Marc Bartra, 18. Jordi Alba, 20. Sergi Roberto, 21. Adriano, 22. Dani Alves, 24. Jérémy Mathieu, 31. Munir El-Haddadi
Expected Starting Lineup (4-3-1-2):
Bravo | Alves, Mascherano, Mathieu, Alba | Busquets, Rakitic, Rafinha | Messi | Neymar, Suárez
The game starts at 20:00 CET, and you can follow and comment all the action right here, at Barça Blaugranes.
