Barcelona gained nine points in four matches and there are no doubts the team will play in the next stage of the competition. The only loss of points was in away match against the City, 1-3, when new Guardiola’s team had to pull performance of a lifetime to beat the Catalans. The team couldn’t win home match in Primera few days ago, drawing with Malaga, 0-0. The coach gave a rest to most of key players of the team, who had a long flight after from South America. According to recent news, all Barcelona’s stars are fit and ready to battle so Celtic have a tough match ahead.
Barcelona won their last three head-to-heads with Celtic with 14-1 on aggregate. We can expect the Catalans to be victorious once again and even home stands won’t help Celtic to avoid another defeat.
