What They're Saying

Celta Vigo winger Nolito (via Inside Spanish Football): "You have to play these games as you never know what can happen. Celta doesn't fear any possible opponent, and we will take Barça on even though they're the best team in the world. We have nothing to lose."

Barcelona manager Gerard Pique (via Inside Spanish Football): "I feel good and confident. I feel like I'm helping the team. If the results are good, it also helps you to stand out on an individual level. But without titles at the end of the season, how I feel right now won't matter. In April, we face the important part and play very difficult matches, like the ones in the Champions League quarterfinals."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Nolito has enjoyed a modicum of success for Celta Vigo this campaign. In 27 league appearances, the 28-year-old has eight goals and eight assists.

Celta Vigo's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Alvarez; Jonny, Fontas, Cabral, Mallo; Fernandez, Radoja, Dehli; Nolito, Larrivey, Orellana

Barcelona's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Bravo; Adriano, Mathieu, Pique, Alves; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Neymar, Suarez, Messi
