Barcelona close the LaLiga season away at relegation-threatened Celta on Sunday

FC Barcelona take on Celta Vigo on Sunday at 21:00 at Balaídos in what will be the last game before the official end of the season.

Xavi Hernández will be without Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Ronald Araujo and Alex Balde. The first two have not been included in the squad as they wanted to say goodbye to the season and to Barça at Spotify Camp Nou in front of the home fans.

The other three, meanwhile, have also been unable to make the squad as they are recovering from their respective injuries. It was not the time to take risks for a game that is of little importance for the Blaugrana.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen will be looking to overtake Liaño as the keeper with the most clean sheets in the history of La Liga (ties on 26 at the moment) and Lewandowski will be looking to close out his Pichichi.

Celta, meanwhile, will be playing for their lives. They need to win to be guaranteed they will avoid relegation.

Four youth teamers

With the absence of five important players for Xavi, four youth players have been called up. Taking into account that the reserve team is playing for promotion to the second division against Real Madrid Castilla, the coach decided to use the youth players to complete the squad.

That's why he called up Unai Hernández, Marc Guiu, Pau Prim and Dani Rodríguez, who trained Saturday morning and made the list. A pleasant surprise. Some of them could have minutes.

This is Barça's squad to face Celta Vigo: Ter Stegen, Dembélé, Lewandowski, Ansu, Ferran Torres, Iñaki Peña, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Kessie, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Koundé, Eric García, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Arnau Tenas, Unai Hernández, Marc Guiu, Pau Prim and Dani Rodríguez.
