Team News
Barcelona
Celtic
- Luis Enrique's decision to rotate his squad at the weekend backfired and he should named his strongest available team against Celtic on Tuesday.
- Marc-Andre Ter Stegen wasn't risked in their shock 2-1 defeat to league minnows Alaves at the weekend but is pushing to return for their Champions League opener on Tuesday.
- Javier Mascherano was very poor in that defeat and could be replaced by Samuel Umtiti, with Gerard Pique expected to come back into the team. Sergi Roberto will also start at right-back.
- Celtic warmed up for their trip to Barcelona with a thumping 5-1 win over Rangers in the Old Firm derby on Saturday.
- It remains to be seen how Brendan Rodgers will set up his side at the Camp Nou, but they will probably have 11 men behind the ball most of the time.
- Scott Brown has overcome a fitness concern and is fit to face Barcelona.
Messi scored a hat-trick and gave one assist just to not be the Man Of The Match, Neymar back then was unstoppable
Would've been interesting to see what the final score would've been had Celtic converted the penalty. I'm sure the result would still be a Barca win, but perhaps a more respectable scoreline? I feel for Celtic. Realistically, they aren't even a Europa cup level team. The Barcelona bench when their first XI starts looks extremely strong- Cillessen, Mascherano, Digne, Rafinha, Gomes, Turan, Alcacer. Most of those are guaranteed to start for any Liga team outside of the top 3. I fancy Bayern to win the CL this year but when Barcelona play as the sum of their parts, they are probably the most destructive.
@SteveHyland people always thinks its gonna be barca or bayern but atleti,juve and real have a good shot as well.im with real madrid
barca defens is soft. other than that. great gAme
amaan ti egine edw?
daaaaaaammmmnnnnn
Neymar 10, Messi 9.9 just so Neymar can get the MOTM cause he deserves it. Loving the Pique and Umtiti pairing, and Gomes impressed a lot tonight!
@bradley.fcb lol they were agains one of the most embarrasing Celtic sides ever, chill. I called it, 7-0 :D
Monster night for Neymar ! 4 assists and 1 goal plus most dribbles.
The heaviest defeat for Celtic.
This is horror
5-1
@rbk Why so pessimistic? At least 7 goals... ;-)
@rbk 5+1
Barcelona is worse now than they were, Celtic +2.0 handi. As for Result 2-1 or 2-0
@koziol.mutant you where suuuuupppperrrr wrong.... very very wrong.
3-0 to Barca
5-1
@faanfomas Suddenly the downvotes seem like "haters' wishes...
I'm not impressed with this year's Barcelona, however, Celtic may be the weakest team of the 32. I'm sure it will be an easy match for the catalans and they score at least 3 goals.
@futballstar dont be silly defo not the weakest.i think celtic can cause an upset based on the current teams forms
