Why you should support Barcelona
The visitors seem to have shaken off the party hangover, because last week they were simply dominant. Barcelona had 79% possession and outshot Mallorca 28-3, nine shots on target and one goal conceded. Ansu Fati got off to a rare start and the 20-year-old made the most of it by scoring two goals. That gave him seven for the season, in 12 starts. gavi also scored, and he and fellow midfielder Raphinha gave Celta many problems in the first meeting in October. Barcelona won that meeting 1-0.
Attacker Robert Lewandowski, the league’s top scorer with 23 goals, should make an impact. Support pillars Sergio Busquets And Jordan Alba will be making their final appearances in Barcelona, so the team will want to send them off with a win. The hosts will have to work for goals on Sunday as Barcelona have the best defense in the league. Marc-Andre ter Stegen has 26 clean sheets, 11 more than any other La Liga goalkeeper, and they have scored 18 goals in 37 matches. See who you can support at SportsLine.
Why you should support Celta Vigo
The hosts have been 3-3-1 in the past seven meetings between these teams at Estadio de Balaidos. Barça have not won both league matches in the same season since 2013-14. And with the home crowd behind Los Celestes and their Premier League spot on the line, they will be much more motivated. They had a 14-13 lead in shots and had plenty of chances to score in the first meeting. captain Iago Aspas failed to beat ter Stegen one-on-one and Gonzalo Paciencia drilled the post late in the game. Celta has 151 shots at the net, eighth in the league.
Aspas, who has scored double-digit goals in all eight seasons with Celta and 12 this season, will be key for the hosts. Young midfielder Gabriel Veiga has scored nine goals and six other players have scored at least twice. Barcelona were outscored 5–2 by losing back-to-back matches after clinching the title. That included a 3-1 setback Valladolid two weeks ago that put Celta at risk. The hosts harass anyone who has the ball, especially between the attacking areas.
