Barcelona will be hoping to head into the November international break on a positive note as they travel to face an in-form Celta Vigo side on Sunday night in La Liga.
After a thrilling yet frustrating 3–3 draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League, Hansi Flick’s men are under pressure to respond. Defensive lapses have plagued the Catalan giants in recent weeks, and their struggles away from home — a three-game winless streak — have become a real concern. Anything short of a win in Vigo could allow Real Madrid to further widen the gap at the top of the table.
Celta Vigo, however, won’t make things easy. Under Claudio Giráldez, the Galician side have found their rhythm and are unbeaten since late September, winning five consecutive matches across all competitions. With players like Bryan Zaragoza and Borja Iglesias firing, Celta enter this match full of belief.
For Barcelona, the return of key players like Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski offers a major boost. Yet the defensive unit — led by Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé — must find stability if the team hopes to claim all three points at the Balaídos.
Historically, the fixture has favored the home side — Barcelona have only managed two wins in their last 10 league visits to Vigo. Flick’s side will need composure, creativity, and focus to overcome one of La Liga’s most unpredictable away trips.
