New approach by Xavi Hernández to face Celta at the Camp Nou tonight (9pm). Barça will play with three left-backs in the starting eleven against the Galician team. Balde will surely play on the right, with a changed leg, with Jordi Alba on the left and Marcos Alonso will accompany Gerard Piqué in the axis of defence.
The numerous losses of the azulgrana team, up to six, included three in defense, which has forced the Terrassa coach to look for imaginative solutions. There are up to four changes compared to Barça's last game, against Inter Milan, in which, in addition to Balde, Piqué and Alba, Ferran Torres enters. Dembélé, Eric Garcia, Sergi Roberto, and the injured Christensen do not play from the start.
Barça is looking for a win that will allow it to be the leader of the Clásico on October 16 at the Santiago Bernabeu. He will do so with a list of troops marked by casualties, although he will be able to count on Frenkie de Jong, already with medical discharge, who entered the call and will wait for an opportunity from the bench.
The Dutchman is accompanied on the bench by substitutes Iñaki Peña, Dembélé, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia, Casadó, Pablo Torre, Chadi Riad and Arnau Tenas. This is the line-up to face Celta at Camp Nou:
Ter Stegen, Balde, Pique, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Gavi, Busquets, Pedri, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Ferran Torres
Marchesín; Hugo Mallo, Aidoo, Unai Nunez, Javi Galan; Beltran, Oscar Rodriguez, Veiga, Cervi; Iago Aspas and Larsen.
