Barcelona will invite Celta Vigo to Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in La Liga on Saturday. Barça have a four-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the standings. Celta are in seventh place and trail the league leader by 27 points.
The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten record in La Liga in 2025. After a 1-1 draw against Real Betis earlier this month, they registered a narrow 1-0 away win over Leganes last week. They got on the scoresheet thanks to an own goal from Jorge Sáenz in the second half.
Their unbeaten streak was ended after 24 games on Tuesday, as they suffered a 3-1 away loss to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. It was their first loss of the year, but they progressed to the semifinals 5-3 on aggregate.

The visitors, meanwhile, saw their unbeaten streak end after eight games last week, as they lost 2-0 at home to Espanyol. They failed to score for the first time in 2025 and will look to return to goal-scoring ways.
