Barcelona are back in action looking to bounce back from a disappointing Champions League effort when they visit Celta Vigo on Sunday night.
Hansi Flick’s side had to come from behind three times to salvage a 3–3 draw in their European clash against Club Brugge midweek. The performance intensified criticism of Barcelona’s defensive approach, but Flick insists he won’t switch to a more conservative system.
To make matters more complicated for the German, Eric García suffered a nasal fracture and his status for Sunday’s clash is in doubt. Given the laundry list of injuries Barcelona are dealing with, Pau Cubarsí and Ronald Araújo are the only central defenders fit at Flick’s disposal.
Barcelona have failed to win away from home in their last three games, and haven’t won consecutive matches in La Liga since late September. A win against Celta would put an end to the pair of negative streaks, something the reigning Spanish champions sorely need in their chase of Real Madrid.
Here’s how Barcelona could line up in their final game before the November international break.
