Camp Nou is the setting for the last of Sunday's games as Xavi's side will look for the win that will take the Catalan side back to the LaLiga summit.

The Catalan's form in Europe is a different story where they are in a tight spot in a tough group after back-to-back defeats to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. It was great when Greece won the Euros and it was really special when Leicester won the league in England. Barcelona have been on a tremendous run since the 2022-23 LaLiga campaign got underway in August and are currently on a six game winning run. Celta Vigo, meanwhile, have had an up-and-down start to the campaign. Still nothing to trouble Marchesin in the Celta goal however. A start at Camp Nou very much in keeping with the script... It’s special and healthy for the game when a smaller club beats a big one. Remember Coudet the Celta coach is not in the Catalan capital this evening as he had to return to his native Argentina for personal reasons. The game resumes and the German stays on the pitch but looks to be moving awkwardly. Celta now well in the game. Barcelona free and the Catalan side opt to go short. the visitors have yet to manage a shot on goal.

Xavi deployed a very experimental back-four on the night, using Marcos Alonso alongside Gerard Pique in the heart of the defence. Alejandro Balde started as the ...

In his defence, he did win a clear penalty, but it was not to be. Had once chance to set up one of Lewandowski or Gavi in injury time, but did not make much of it. Raphinha was at the centre of each attack today, especially in the first half. Won every loose ball as Barcelona cried for help in the second 45, including creating an attack for Dembele, who fluffed the chance. Not an encouraging performance ahead of a vital UCL clash, but three points nonetheless. Alejandro Balde started as the right-back, while Jordi Alba returned to his usual left-back role.

"We had a great second half, had five or six great scoring chances, but the usual is to lose here." We will try to win and show character like we did last season." "Our team played well in the first 30 minutes, could have scored more goals, but they were better than us in the second half. "Two weeks ago we were dependent on [Robert] Lewandowski and now it's Ter Stegen," Barca coach Xavi said after the match.

Pedri's goal helped Barcelona earn an agonising 1-0 win over Celta Vigo to move back top of La Liga on Sunday.

After the goal, Celta Vigo's performance picked up significantly and they did threaten the Barcelona goal, with the closest they came to scoring being a goal ruled out for offside.

Gavi breached Celta's offside trap and when his dangerous cross was only half dealt with by [Unai Nunez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/260902/Unai-Núñez), Pedri had the simple task of rolling the ball home from close range.

And in front of him – at the other end of the generation gap – Gavi and Pedri impressed in midfield. He looks capable of staying true to his promise of finishing the season as first choice.

Pique blocked from Oscar Rodriguez in the second half as Celta pressed. Barcelona dominated the first half but could not extend their lead.
