Barcelona will be looking to build on their impressive opening-game victory under Ronald Koeman when they take on Celta Vigo at Balaidos on Thursday evening.
The Catalan giants brushed aside Villarreal 4-0 on Sunday to make a positive start to life under Koeman, who was brought in as Quique Setien's successor during the summer.
Teenage forward Ansu Fati scored twice and won a penalty that was converted by Lionel Messi, while Pau Torres put into his own net in the one-sided affair.
