Team News

Barcelona
Celta Vigo
  • Sergi Roberto is out for the weekend for Barcelona after coming off with an injury recently. Sergino Dest will start at right wing-back.
  • Ronaldo Araujo has a sprained ankle, so Oscar Mingueza should complete Ronald Koeman's back three.
  • Frenkie De Jong sits out due to suspension for the hosts, so Pedri and Sergio Busquets should feature in central midfield.
  • Nestor Araujo is back after suspension for Celta Vigo and should return immediately at the heart of the defence.
  • Hugo Mallo is also fully fit and should replace Kevin at right-back for such a tough game.
  • No other changes are expected from the away side, but they do welcome back Facundo Ferreyra to the bench after serving a ban of his own.

Prediction

  • Barcelona have won just one of their last four league games, dropping points against the likes of Granada, Atletico Madrid and Levante.
  • The hosts find themselves four points behind league leaders Atleti with six points left to play for.
  • Celta Vigo have won their last four LaLiga games, beating Osasuna, Levante, Villarreal and Getafe in a row.

  • Messi just prove how God he is as an individual player. A league of his own. Wow. With Good player around him. He is unstoppable.

  • I was not even sure that Messi would reach 20 goals this season. Yoh.

  • @nceshNcero finished messi is still above the rest

  • How did Barca lose this game. These was witch craft. Pure witchcraft

  • Players want to Koeman sack

  • @ravshan_8800 spot on.

  • 15 dribbles in a game, he break his own record against Betis in 06/07 where he had 14 dribbles.

  • Barca have opened talks with Xavi about replacing Koeman.He is currently in Qatar.

  • Celta won but penaldians are the ones celebrating LOL

  • @GioMonaldo obssesed with ronaldo

  • @Nashonba that's why they're called penaldians.

  • Suarez reached Atletico and they win Laliga..who was carrying Barcelona?..Ofcourse It was Suarez..

  • @john2james PR7 kicked out of Real Madrid and they won La Liga and reached UCL semifinals, who was carrying PR7? Of course it was Benzema, Modric and Kroos!

  • Rivals in Italy UCL group stage clown Inter, a small club called Atalanta, EL-warrior Milan and looser Napoli, all humiliate PR7, worst signing ever

  • @Pastore10 it's a barcelona game, and you talking about ronaldo hahaha

  • @Pastore10 Roma, Juventus and Milan all stopped Barcelona in UCL...6 years no UCL trophy for Messi...missing Neymar ?

  • @john2james speaking of Milan, Messi still has more goals than PR7 against them despite never playing in Lukaku's league LEL

  • @john2james CR never made any team better, never

  • @john2james CR played zero UCL finals in Real before Modric signing, in MU 5th year after perfect signings, in Real i n his 5th year after world class signings, in Juventus? Never ever?

  • @Pastore10 while we are eagerly waitin for Messi to play in UCL final in 6 years. I repeat 6 years...3 years no goal against Madrid..Stat pad Eibarman

  • @john2james no missing Kroos and Modric, i said years ago, excuses?

  • @Pastore10 Already won 5 times....played 6 CL finals..while Messi played 3 CL finals..Let Messi catch up...

  • @john2james zero with VAR, and never ever wil the biggest cheater of the dark-pre VAR era

  • Juventus overall wage bilsl more than 300 millions euros, Atalanta 28 millions LMAO

  • @Pastore10 Suarez was carrying Barcelona..Messi exposed

  • @john2james Luka my mother, Toni my father, i a looser homo

  • So CR is the ultimate big game player vs Messi look at his absurd marketing (PR7): against TOP3 career-wise Messi 58 matches 40 goals 15 assists after this season, PR7 62 matches 28 goals 7 assists before the season (dont know who will finish in TOP3)against english top 6 Messi 32/26, PR7 79/28, in finals Messi 43 matches 31 goals 13 assists, PR7 34 matches 20 goals 2 assists, and dont forget Messi vs world-champions nations 29/14 PR7 didnt score 25 out of 27 matches

  • Messi scored 0 goals against both madrid this season. Typical stat padding. Messi didn't score a goal against real Madrid in 3 years.Unbelievable stats. True stat padder..Eibarman.

  • @john2james he didn't play against eibar this season would be on 39 goals if he did:D

  • Cadiz: Messi scores the opener, Barça bottle the lead. Granada: Messi scores the opener, Barça bottle the lead. Levante: Messi scores the opener, Barça bottle the lead. Celta: Messi scores the opener, Barça bottle the lead. PSG: Messi scores the opener, Barça bottle the lead. Notice a pattern?

  • @GioMonaldo same for Ronaldo. These teams dnt deserve these too guys. At the end of the day. Soccer is a sport game. You can't

  • @GioMonaldo Yes, Messi is bad at defending. Taking all the shots ( 6 shots per game ) and never defend and then messi fan girls complain.

  • @john2james unsurprisingly, pendu fangays come up with the dumbest take ever. 'Messi should defend' was supposed to be a joke but I guess when your head is so far up pendu's Ahole, no take is too dumb for you lot.

  • @GioMonaldo Eibarman fan is upset

  • @john2james Lecceman is going to Europa League lel

  • @john2james PR7 statistically the worst defending player of the TOP5 league, sky high the worst and laziest presser, minu 1 man in defending, minus 1 man in build ups, -1 man in teamwork, 1 dimensional poacher, it works only with Modric and Kroos

  • Even a 4th placed Juventus in Seria A defeated barcelona 3-0. Talking about the quality of Laliga..

  • @john2james since the last italian european cup winner (2010) spanish teams won 14 european cups , seria a quality is a joke, Inter an UCL group stage looser, and this pathetic team humiliated PR7

  • @john2james and Barca defeated Juve in Turin and Madrid eliminated second placed Atalanta. What's your point pendu sucker?

  • @GioMonaldo The point is Messi didn't reach UCL final for 6 years and scored zero goals against Real Madrid in 4 years.

  • @john2james PR7 against world champions zero goal in 25 out of 27 matches, and France and Germany is coming bro, so far 10 matches 0 goal from our favourite penalty-taker, Luxemburgo

  • At Messi's age Ronaldo was lifting UCL . We will see what Messi will do after 3 years.

  • @john2james at Messi's age Pendu was disappearing in UCL final and getting carried by Benz and Bale. Now he's carrying Juve to Europa League. Disgrace.

  • Barca lose. Penaldians: it's free real estate. What a bunch of pathetic clowns. Came here to air their frustrations after their lord shat his pants in his new challenge.

  • 100 comments in an irrerelevant match topic, Bilbao-Real 14, Atletico 2X, Messi clearly the greatest

  • Humiliated in CL, humiliated in La Liga. 3-0 against Juventus, 4-1 against PSG, lost 2 classicos against Madrid, The only thing this club is good at is bullying small clubs. Even then they still lost to the likes of Granada and Celta Vigo.

  • johnjames is too coward to save the worst signing ever in Juventus topics LOL

  • @Pastore10 he went quiet for most of the season and is now back barking louder than ever. He's probably mad about the underwear merchant heading for Europa league.

  • Messi and his copa del ray love continues. Ronaldo played in 6 CL final. Messi played 3 CL finals...Ronaldo double better than Messi.

  • @john2james Pendu: 'I will do the impossible to win UCL with Juventus'. Result: Juve went from UCL final straight to Europa League thanks to that leech LOL

  • @GioMonaldo LAMO this is si funny, what a clown

  • @john2james PR7 in Spain 2 cups (played only in 1 final) and laughable 2 PDs with the sky high best team of the world, till Messi 6 and 6, UCL Messi vs Ronaldo 2011? Cmon...PR7 a little dog

  • Next is what? Kick out another experienced coach?. Atleast Messi is not unlucky like Ronaldo who has to play under first time, waste coach like Pirlo.

  • @john2james I love it when penaldians admit that the dolphin is absolutely useless without a good team and coach around him LMAO

  • @GioMonaldo "penaldians" you fanboys are embarrassing beyond belief

  • @jandold I need more salt!

  • No way will Messi stay.This Barca side will take a few years to rebuild.Apparently Laporta has been looking for another coach as the players and fans are not happy with him.

  • Pep guardiola will win Champions league with different teams . Messi is lucky to be played under him. Pep was a genious not to allow Messi into his team and ruined everything he has created in man city. The greatest manager of all time.

  • The most expensive team in football history is showing such a pathetic show, thanks Messi for your service.

  • @john2james PR7 destroyed Juve my boy, EL-caliber without Modric and Kroos, 400-500 millions euros ( transfer fee and surreal wage) for nothing instead of rebouilding Juve, thanks Mis Portugal

  • @john2james Yeah, Messi, come to Liverpool be happy with Klopp, I'llbe waiting for you

  • Barcelona wasted money on Messi instead of rebuilding the team.. Atleast Man city was wise enough

  • Barca sells Villa to Atleti, Atleti win the league. Barca sells Suarez to Altleti, Atleti win the league. Barca == Clown club

  • Messi wasted the last 4 years of his career on this horrible team...

  • @Davisson More like Barcelona wasted their money on Messi instead of rebuilding the team

  • @Davisson I agree

  • Paper form.

  • 9.8 for a player on the loosing team with just 1 goal

  • @El_Christiano7 do you look only for the goals? Well, this explain you nick.

  • @Amos_Rodrigues No, we look for results too. The result is Barcelona lost.

  • @El_Christiano7

  • @El_Christiano7 cry

  • @Genie908 At what? Messi lost

  • @El_Christiano7 literally on evey sites..so what's you're point

  • @El_Christiano7 7 attempts, only two on target, #1 dispossed as well.

  • LMAO, this barca team is the joke of this century.

  • Enough is enough! Koeman out.

  • @GioMonaldo This time Messi out. We kicked out enough coaches for Messi.

  • @john2james without Messi's goals and assists barca would have 43 points this season. So good luck with the messi out gesture

  • @john2james there's no 'we' here, YOU are a penaldian, you are going to enjoy Thursday night football next season ;)

  • I have never seen a player that get 9.6 ratting with only a one goal

  • @Youzarix He had 14 (!) dribbles, 7 shots and 104 touches.

  • @Youzarix if you break it down, there was a goal, 2 key passes and 14 completed dribbles (very rare to see that many). The dribbles will have pushed his rating up a lot.

  • @Youzarix 9.8 rating

  • @Youzarix that's why he's the GOAT

  • Since Pique return Barca lost many point. He brings bad luck....

  • @turgaycelik27 he brings bad defending too

  • @turgaycelik27 ��lol

  • Why does Messi always go for goal, why doesn't he pass to his retarded teammate... oh

  • Barca season over with tonights home loss.Sack Koeman the clown !

  • Lmao Madrid will be La Liga champion! Definitely the most deserving this season. Went the furthest in Champions League too. What an amazing achievement considering the amount of injuries they suffered this season.

  • @vieri that aged well

  • @vieri as things stand (if you mean Real) they won't be champions - Atleti won today so just need to win their remaining game.

  • @jonejo34 Atleti will bottle it against Valladolid fighting for their safety. Madrid will face Villarreal who'd have to save their energy for Manchester United,

  • @vieri What are you talking about? Atletico won their game

  • Lmao Madrid will be La Liga champion! Definitely the most deserving this season. Went the furthest in Champions League too. What an amazing achievement considering the amount of injuries they suffered this season.

  • @vieri ah, man, I disagrre so much, I don't like Atletico, but the futebool of Real is so poor. Vini sucks, Rodrygo sucks, Zidane is too pratical.

  • Why is almost every opposition GK always turning into prime Neuer when they play against Barca and why is every shot on target a goal conceded by lol Stegen?

  • Both to score and Barca win.

  • Barca 1:2 Celta

  • FdJ will score.

  • @GioMonaldo not available man LOL Barca 1:2 Celta

  • @GioMonaldo He is not even available lol

  • @NHJ why is he available to choose for MOTM then? stop spreading fake news brah

  • @GioMonaldo The players available for the motm section are usually all players in the squad and not only the ones that are actually able to play. That's why you could choose Haaland last week for instance, even though he was injured.

  • @neumi17 that's clearly false bc we all know this top site would never allow us to choose from players that can't play. I mean it's not like we can choose Liverpool's Sterling for MOTM.

  • At this point 3-2 Celta :(

  • Barcelona - Celta 1:2(0:1)

  • @BetStatDroid_com teach me, master
