– I didn't expect we could play so poorly. But that's how it was, and now we have to get back up. We save the point, but we are not satisfied. Everyone could have played better. Let's be honest: it was our really bad match. Our game had nothing to do with what we would like to see – said an angry Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona coach, at a press conference after a 2-2 draw away to Celta Vigo. The La Liga leaders drew, although they were still leading 2-0 in the 84th minute.

There is a decision regarding Robert Lewandowski! Flick announced the FC Barcelona lineup
Now FC Barcelona wanted to redeem themselves in the eyes of the fans in a Champions League match in front of their own audience against the French Stade Brest 29. Hansi Flick's team will have to deal with him with a significantly weakened squad.
Due to injuries, the following players, who have been sidelined for a long time, will not play: Ronaldo Araujo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Marc Andre ter Stegen, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres. However, this is not the end of the weakening. Lamine Yamal will miss the third match in a row for FC Barcelona.
It is already known what starting eleven FC Barcelona will play in. Compared to the last match against Celta Vigo, coach Hansi Flick made one change in the lineup. Gavi's place in the “11” was Fermin Lopez. Traditionally, Robert Lewandowski is in the starting eleven. On Tuesday evening, the Pole will have a great chance to become the third player in history to reach the mark of 100 goals in the Champions League. There is one condition – he must score at least one goal. So far, only the biggest Football stars have achieved this: the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and the Argentine Leo Messi.
Eric Garcia, who had not played in the last seven matches due to injury, returned to the bench for FC Barcelona.
