Good afternoon everyone. We start with live narration of the Celta de Vigo – Barcelona matchcorresponding to the day 14 of LaLiga EA Sports. A match on Claudio Giráldez's team measures the power of the leader.
Both teams return to the scene after the national team break. A circumstance that entails a certain risk, especially for teams with many international players such as Barcelona. Furthermore, in the case of the Barça team, it is common that they visit the Balaídos stadium, a recently difficult field for Barça, since it is the one where they have achieved the fewest wins in the last decade: three wins in 10 years.
Celta faces the game with the only loss of Jailson. Sergio Carreira is not among those called up either despite the fact that he is already medically discharged. Claudio Giráldez already said before the match that the team's playing style was not going to change due to facing the leader: “The idea is to be brave, this is not negotiable,” he commented.
Barça arrives with several casualties. The most significant of Lamine Yamalwho has stayed in Barcelona. “He will return when he is ready,” said Hansi Flick at a press conference. Ter Stegen, Araujo, Christensen, Eric García, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres will also not be available to German coach, all of them injured. Despite this, the Barça team arrives in Vigo with the intention of adding the three points that will allow them to keep their distance from their immediate pursuers in the classification.
