Barcelona, no rotation for Koeman's first away trip

Barcelona, no rotation for Koeman's first away trip

The coach will keep the same side that whomped Villarreal 4-0 in their opening clash

It's not the time for experiments or rotations. La Liga just started (for Barcelona at least) and Ronald Koeman takes on his first away game as coach with the idea of maintaining the side that thrashed Villarreal. He confirmed it in his press conference. At most he will make one change.

Celta have started the league well and Koeman isn't planning on taking risks. Barca will maintain the same defence - Alba, Pique, Lenglet, Semedo - in front of Neto. 

Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong will work as a double pivot, which in its time seemed herecy at Barca but the Dutch coach has made it seem normal.

Miralem Pjanic and Carles Alena will have to wait their turns, with both on the bench.

ATTACKING SWITCH

If Koeman is going to rotate it will be here. Ousmane Dembele could start, while Trincao is another option. Coutinho, Messi and Griezmann will probably start so it's Ansu Fati - despite his brace - who is at risk.
