One such player who lined up for Celta Vigo on the night but has a history at Barcelona was Oscar Mingueza, the young, who was seemingly a mainstay under Ronald Koeman but was offloaded after Xavi Hernandez took over. Since his move to Galicia, Mingueza has developed tremendously and has made himself a mainstay at right-back - so much so that he has generated serious attention on the transfer market front.
Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal continues to make headlines with his electric form in front of goal. The 18-year-old forward has been unstoppable in recent weeks, registering three goals and one assist in his last four appearances. Now, as Barcelona gear up to face Celta Vigo, Yamal will be aiming to tick off a personal milestone that has so far eluded him - scoring against the La Liga side.
Year after year, the Celta captain has proven to be the Catalan team's major weak point. The former Liverpool striker's record against Barcelona is indeed simply stunning, having scored 11 goals in 21 league matches, a statistic that doesn't even fully capture his numerous standout performances and decisive moments that have cost Barça dearly at Balaidos.
Lamine Yamal is one of the best players in the world right now; we need to limit his threat defensively and as a unit, but Barcelona doesn't rely on him alone - they've got Ferran, Lewandowski, Fermín, and Olmo, and their attack is phenomenal," he said.
