La Liga leader Barcelona will travel to Celta Vigo seeking a return to winning ways on Saturday. Watch the game live and for free on Fubo today.
Hansi Flick is under pressure to restore balance as Barcelona returns from the international break away to Celta Vigo on Saturday, having seen his side lose for just the second time this season last time out. La Blaugrana timed its respite poorly after falling 1-0 at Real Sociedad a fortnight ago, failing to score in a game for the first time this term and seeing its table lead cut down as a result. A 97th-minute penalty decider courtesy of Robert Lewandowski was required the last time Barca visited Balaidos back in February, and the Pole will likely have another key role to play in the Week 14 trip.

Barcelona’s narrow defeat in San Sebastian earlier this month was a costly slip as Real Madrid moved to within six points of the summit, and all while boasting one game in hand.
Flick’s men have now suffered three defeats across all competitions this campaign, each of which have come away from home and demonstrate some vulnerability when travelling on the road.
Sheraldo Becker downed Barcelona’s spirits by grabbing the only goal on Real Sociedad’s behalf when the teams collided just prior to the international break:
The guests will be without a host of key names, including homegrown talents Lamine Yamal, Marc Bernal and Ansu Fati, but there is optimism regarding the state of frontman Lewandowski.
The talismanic forward didn’t meet up with his Poland team-mates over the international break due to injury, but there’s hope he’ll be ready to return to the starting XI come Saturday.
Brazilian linchpin Jailson is the only missing man for Celta, who could feasibly climb as high as seventh with a surprise win over the pace-setter.
