Barcelona lineup vs. Celta Vigo: Predicted Blaugrana XI for La Liga affair

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick could make two changes to his starting side for Saturday's La Liga contest with Celta Vigo.

The Catalan outfit will enter the match off the back of a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but they still advanced into the next round courtesy of a 5-3 aggregate success.

Flick is expected to make a couple of alterations to the side that started in Germany, with Pedri and Inigo Martinez potentially being introduced into the side for Gavi and Ronald Araujo.

Barcelona will once again be without the services of Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal through injury, but the Catalan outfit did not suffer any fresh issues against BVB.

Gerard Martin is the player benefiting from Balde's absence, with the Spaniard set to continue at left-back, while Frenkie de Jong is expected to keep hold of his starting role in the middle of midfield.

Ferran Torres and fit-again Dani Olmo will be in the manager's thinking when it comes to spots in the side, but it is likely that the pair will again be among the substitutes for the first whistle this weekend.

Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha have all been in excellent form during the 2024-25 campaign, and the trio will continue in the final third of the field.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Martin; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha; Lewandowski
