Dembélé and plan B of Barcelona against a Celta with emergencies

[Dark]

 

The end of La Liga is close but some unknown as to know how the league table will be when the championship lowers its curtain. Barcelona won the title last week, while Atlético and Real Madrid have already secured a place in the bombs of the next edition of the Champion League. What other teams will play European competition or which clubs will descend is still to be resolved and it is in this last section where Celta plays it.

The match hosted by Balaídos on Saturday May 4 is in the middle of the semifinals of the maximum continental competition. Barça met Liverpool on Wednesday at the Camp Nou and without time to direct what happened to visit the Celta de Vigo field and then head to England to resolve his move to the Champions League final in Anfield.

The resounding 3-0 victory against Jürgen Klopp has not caused that since Can Barça are already in the final on June 1 in the Metropolitan Wanda. For this reason, Ernesto Valverde will make important changes in his initial team for the game against the celestial team. The encounter before the Liverpool supposed in great attrition for Piqué, Messi and company. All finished exhausted, so they will have a deserved rest this Saturday for the return of the semifinals.

Three crashes to finish La Liga, in addition to the final of the Copa del Rey on Saturday, May 25. That's the agenda culé before arriving at Wanda, as long as they get the ticket to the final in Anfield. The rotations seem vital to get the finishing touch to the season and the Cillessen, Todibo, Aleñá, Malcom or Boateng will now have a golden opportunity.

Plan B goes into action

Leading this plan B of Barcelona will be Ousmane Dembélé. The French footballer was injured right at the best moment since he arrived at the club blaugrana. Since his return to the playing fields, the Frenchman has seen that his gap in the attack accompanying Messi and Luis Suárez in the big nights is now for Coutinho. The former Borussia Dortmund has shown that he still lacks pace of competition and in Vigo will be a remarkable opportunity to achieve it.

Dembélé will be accompanied in the attack by a Kevin Prince-Boateng who has not enjoyed the minutes he expected when he signed in the winter market for Barça. Malcom will also be in the game, closing the trident in Balaídos. But in addition to the offensive line, the great novelty will come in goal, where Cillessen has many ballots to relieve the non-negotiable Ter Stegen. The rest of the team aims to be very similar to the one that was already in front of Huesca.

The Celtic opportunity

Since the return of Iago Aspas, Celta de Vigo has been gradually emerging from the pit in which he had gotten. The celestial ones occupy the position 15 of the classification of the domestic championship with 37 points to their credit. The same as the next two in the table, Levante and Girona, and only two points above Valladolid, which marks the decline in position 18. From Balaídos do accounts and that is to add three points, with only two Days ahead for the end of La Liga can be the great coup of effect they need.

In the penultimate league match, the Galicians visit the always complicated San Mamés and an Athletic that struggles to get into European positions. So this match against a Barcelona already champion and that has the mind set more in the Champions League than in the domestic tournament are your best chance to get away from hell. In addition to Aspas, Fran Escribá can count on Okay Yokuslu, who missed the last game by penalty.

The main novelty in the Vigo squad may be the presence from the start of the Brais Méndez match. The alternative to the midfielder would be Boudebouz, who seem sure of the game in the midfield are Okay, Lobotka and Boufal. The one who has won a position is Rubén Blanco under the three sticks, while in defense Escribá will bet on the traditional line of four to stop the culés attacks, which will not be David Juncá, despite being already recovered.
