Face-Off: Celta Vigo - FC Barcelona | Grup 14
AnalysisThis is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at http://grup14.com/article/face-off-celta-vigo-fc-barcelona
It's certainly one of the most difficult grounds for us.
Although as Messi hasn't been worn out after the International Break ( Thank God)
I'm more optimistic about the game. I think L.E has a point to prove to his old team, we need all three points. Nothing short of a win will suffice ( When does it ever ? )
Neymar needs to impress in this match as his decision making skills in the final third have almost disappeared.
I predict a 1-2 Win for us. For that we need to score first, as Celta Vigo can really shut up shop and sit back for the entire match.
We saw it in the Camp Nou, the painful painful defeat ( lot of bad luck- 4 times hitting the post/bar)
Suarez has been fit and not played too so he'll be raring to go and even Sergio Busquets.
Start of the difficult April journey is here.

Tomorrow we will make it 20 wins @ Vigo,
Hope to see the best of Neymar, and i would love to see Rafinha start the game tomorrow.
No Alves, I think Adriano will start as RB as well
Good Luck Barca.
Key Player for Sunday's match: NEYMAR! He has to show up big, and capitalize when opportunities come his way. I predict a 1-3 win for us! I'm excited Animo Barca!!!
Visca Barca y Visca Catalunya!!!
Yes for sure
neymar
He NEEDS to Step Up now for this final push
He's been great this season
Just the past one month or so has been a little off for him.
I hope we see another Crackitic goal tomorrow

I am of the opinion Leo has got to sit out this match. There is no sense in risking him for this weekend, with eight games coming up in twenty-five days. That would be the responsible thing to do today.
I don't think Leo is injured
But yeah you're right
He should start and maybe brought off
I don't want the team to drop anymore points with Madrid lurking
We have Atletico left and Sevilla (A) and Valencia (H)
So a nice cushion of 4 points will give some breathing space
Its gonna be a tough match at tough stadium. I can't forget how they beat us at home. We can't lose any point now, I hope we win and to get the 3 points in any way. Visca Barça
It was a really tough match. I think starting Rafinha was a mistake from LE. Once Xavi got in, the change in the quality of play was drastic. I hope LE refrains from starting Rafa in tough away matches.
Neymar had a bad 1st half, but improved in the 2nd. A shame his goal was wrongly disallowed. Still, he can do much better. I think the saga involving his signing is affecting him. Called to testify and such.
It was frustrating to see Rafinha and Iniesta start the match together. I think Lucho should have had either of Rakitic or Xavi starting and either Iniesta or Rafinha starting, not both together.
Rafinha and Iniesta together eliminates any semblance of control we have in the middle of the field. It makes transitions scary, and if it weren't for a Pique masterclass in defense today, we probably would have lost or drawn the match.
Neymar was horrible in the first half, and so was Dani Alves...There was no midfield presence the first 45 minutes...it was until Xavi was brought in the second half that Barca had more control/stability. I'm just glad we managed to get the 3 points, and are still #A4 of Madrid. This month will be the toughest of them all.
