  • PRVW
    The teams are out on the pitch and kickoff is not far away!
  • PRVW
    This is also a Barcelona lineup without any academy products in it - a rare sight from a team who produced Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta amongst others.
  • PRVW
    You can see from the lineups above however that Barca do have quite an impressive plan B if things do begin to go wrong for the - Messi and Suarez off the bench.
  • PRVW
    So it looks as if we won't see a repeat of this (would we anyway). Neither of these two start.
  • PRVW
    So what about that from Ernesto Valverde? A number of key players drop out of the starting lineup!
  • PRVW
    Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Mina, Vermaelen, Digne, Gomes, Paulinho, Denis Suarez, Coutinho, Paco Alcacer, Dembele
  • PRVW
    Celta XI: Sergio, Wass, Sergi Gomez, Roncaglia, Jonny, Lobotka, Mendez, Jozabed, Aspas, Maxi Gomez, Sisto
  • PRVW
    The teams are in...
