Tooor for FC Barcelona, 1-0 through Pedri

After a pass from Sergi Busquets, Ferrán Torres fires from the left of the box. That right footed shot is also something for the visiting keeper, who doesn’t need to complain about a lack of work.

Then Robert Lewandowski headed in the middle of the penalty area and not only got through against an opponent. The conclusion from about six meters again calls Agustín Marchesín onto the scene, who parries again.

Brilliant feat by Marchesín! Raphinha shoots really well from the second row and in a fairly central position. The left shot has an enormous cut and demands everything from Agustín Marchesín. The Argentine keeper parries very well.

Vigo’s head coach Eduardo Coudet is absent from the bench for the second game in a row. The Argentine is currently at home for personal reasons and will be replaced again today by assistant coach Ariel Broggi.

From the left Pedri plays the ball well and dangerously in the middle Ferrán Torres comes a touch too late in the goal area and just misses the ball.

Now there is already the second corner for Barça. On the right is the short run. Then the high flank follows, but the scene also fizzles out. At least one has now made representations in the penalty area.

21:07
After a bad pass from Álex Baldé, the guests get the ball and can keep it in their own ranks for a reasonable time. However, nothing is happening constructively forward. The Galicians can’t even get out of their own half.

21:05
The hosts get going briskly, immediately switch on the forward gear and penetrate to the penalty area. But that’s the end of it for now, there’s no getting through.

So now the ball is rolling. Conditions in Catalonia are pleasant at a mild 20 degrees. There is no threat of precipitation from the loosely cloudy sky during the course of the game.
20:49
Last season, Barcelona won the home game 3-1. In Vigo it was a 3:3. But the previous season, Celta celebrated their last win against the Catalans – in May 2021 with 2-1 here at the Camp Nou.
20:45
Celta Vigo have nine points and ten goals less – and also conceded twelve more. The Galicians recently celebrated a 1-0 home win against Real Betis. Before that, there were two significant away defeats at Atlético (1:4) and in Valencia (0:3). The first away game of the season was won 1-0 in Girona at the end of August. Incidentally, last season in the Primera División ended in eleventh place.
20:37
Looking at the table, the second has to do with the eleventh. Barça were top of the table before this matchday, but meanwhile their rivals Real Madrid, who were tied on points, have advanced (1-0 in Getafe). The Catalans, who are also still unbeaten, must now follow suit and need a threesome to land back on the place in the sun. At the moment they have the best attack in the league (19 goals this season), level with Los Blancos. Defensively, it’s really outstanding. You caught a miserable goal. That was in August in the 4-1 win at Real Sociedad and after the 0-0 start against Rayo Vallecano. Since then it has had six league wins in a row, the last five to zero. Only in the premier class is it not working yet. In the hammer group C they suffered away defeats in Munich (0:2) and at Inter Milan (0:1). They only won against Viktoria Plzeň (5:1).
20:27
Xavi Hernández makes four changes compared to Tuesday’s Champions League game. Gerard Piqué, Jordi Alba, Álex Baldé and Ferrán Torres replace Andreas Christensen (ankle injury), Eric García, Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembélé (all bench). On the guest side there are two changes after the last point game. Coach Edouardo Coudet benched Augusto Solari and Carles Pérez. Franco Cervi and Iago Aspas play for this from the start.
20:12
