Barcelona will be aiming to post a sixth straight win in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday evening.
Xavi‘s side have picked up 13 points from their first five games of the new league season to sit second in the table, two points behind leaders Real Madrid, while Celta occupy 16th, collecting four points from their opening five matches during an underwhelming start.
Barcelona’s goalless draw with Getafe on the opening weekend of the new La Liga season was underwhelming to say the least, but the Catalan outfit have not missed a step since, winning their last five matches in all competitions.
Xavi’s team have overcome Cadiz, Villarreal, Osasuna and Real Betis in their last four in the league to move onto 13 points, which as mentioned, is currently enough for second spot in the table behind Real Madrid.
Deadline-day arrivals Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo have settled effortlessly into life at Barcelona, and their squad certainly looks better equipped to deal with a busy season.
Barcelona are absolutely flying at the moment, and it is really difficult to imagine them failing to collect another three points here. Celta are capable of making it an uncomfortable match, but Xavi’s side should be too strong for their opponents in Saturday’s encounter.
