Celta vs Barcelona Kicks off at 17:00 CEST
Celtic vigo host Barcelona at the Balaidos Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with Quique Setien opting to give a start to promising midfielder Riqui Puig.
The 20-year-old, along with Ansu fati, positively impacted Barcelona‘s 1-0 win against Athletic Club in midweek and he has found himself in the starting XI as a result, particularly with Ivan Rakitic dropping into the holding-midfield role due to Sergio Busquets‘ suspension and Frenkie de Jong‘s injury.
Barcelona will have to beat at their best to beat an in-form Celtic, though, as Oscar Garcia‘s side look to create a further gap between themselves and the bottom three.
Celtic‘s starting line-up: Ruben Blanco; Jacobo Gonzalez, Joseph Aidoo, Jorge Saenz, Nestor Araujo, Kevin Vazquez; Brais Mendez, Okay Yokuslu, Denis Suarez; Iago Aspas, Fedor Smolov.
Barcelona‘s line-up: Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, Jordi Alba; Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic, Riqui Puig; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Ansu Fati.
