Xavi responded to journalists at a press conference about the expectations he had prior to this game, where he made it clear that his current stadium has been a strength. “At the Olympic Stadium we feel at home. "The atmosphere that is being generated between the team and the fans creates a very good harmony."
"This season is the confirmation of good play and good results, hopefully. I feel supported. When there were bad moments was when I noticed the president closest."
Come home, Óscar Mingueza, the Celta player to follow will be the former Barcelona player. He is the team's top scorer with 1 goal in 5 games. Mingueza was in the most chaotic and dramatic times of the Barça club. Where he failed to establish himself in Xavi's starting eleven.
The sensation of the moment, the Portuguese João Félix is the player to follow for the Barça team with 2 games he has scored 1 goal, in the Champions League he scored a double in the first European game. The former colchonero has felt better in Xavi's scheme than that of Cholo, where he could not place himself in the starting eleven, since the arrival of Depay. Both players did the right thing in changing scene.
For this match the Barça clubs recover Araujo, where he will not be a starter, he will start on the bench, after returning from injury. Apart from that they have renewed Alejandro Balde until 2028. There couldn't be better news for Xavi. In addition, the Spanish coach will sign again to spend more years on the Cule bench.
The Celta team arrives in a terrible position, adding only one victory, one draw and three defeats. With only 4 points, those from Vigo lost last week against Mallorca. Their most recent victory was against Almería. They are in 16th position, below Sevilla, Granada and Las Palmas.
We are witnessing the best moment of the Cule team, where those led by Xavi Hernández are having an incredible start. Two points behind Real Madrid, with 5 games they have won 4 and lost only one game. The Blaugranas have 13 points, Girona is stalking them from behind.
In the Champions League they started on the right foot, 5 goals to 0 against Antwerp, where we saw a great version of Joao Félix, the Portuguese has been phenomenal in the scheme, along with Cancelo.
It is not noticeable that Pedri and Araujo are injured, because Barcelona is generating a great unity among their team.
