Barcelona- Celta: Schedule and where to watch the match on television today

Barcelona will try to rearm morally after the blow against Inter Milan (1-0) this Sunday against Celta de Vigo who will recover Iago Aspas in the starting eleven. Xavi's men face this match before Wednesday's decisive match against the Italians in the Champions League and playing the classic against Real Madrid on Sunday 16 at the Bernabeu.

The match, corresponding to the eighth day of the League, is played today, Sunday, October 9, at 9:00 p.m. It can be seen on the DAZN platform. You can follow all the information about the match live on the La Vanguardia website and also check the rest of the results, calendar and classification of LaLiga Santander.

Domestic competition is the terrain in which Barça is feeling comfortable at the start of the season. He is the leader with 19 points, has scored 19 goals (9 of them from Robert Lewandowski) and has only conceded 1. Marc-André Ter Stegen, who has accumulated 534 minutes without conceding a goal in the League, beat Mallorca (0-1 ) his unbeaten record.

Without Kessié and Christensen, who joined the list of up to 6 injured players in which, in addition to the Dane, there are also two other central defenders, Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo, Xavi will only have two central defenders available from the first team: Eric Garcia and the reappeared Gerard Piqué. Although Marcos Alonso could also occupy this position if necessary and the central defender of the 19-year-old subsidiary Chadi Riad entered the call. He could also count on the versatile midfielder Frenkie de Jong in that position, who has received a medical discharge and will reappear against the Galicians.

Barcelona's offensive power and solidity at the Camp Nou, where only Rayo Vallecano have managed to scratch them a point, will mean another huge challenge for Celta, who will continue to be without coach Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet, still in Argentina for a family motif.

Although Barcelona's numbers in LaLiga are scary, but in Celta's dressing room they dream of repeating the feat of two years ago, when they stormed the Barça stadium with a brace from Santi Mina. Of the last 10 league games, Barça has only beaten the Galicians 4 times. The balance is 4 more draws and two defeats. It is a major challenge, but the return of Iago Aspas, the striker who has scored the most goals against Ter Stegen (9), to the starting eleven and, above all, the very important European duel of his rival next Wednesday, make Celtism dream with victory.

Ariel Broggi, who will lead the team again due to the absence of Coudet, will line up his gala team, with Aspas as teammate of the Norwegian Larsen at the top and the Argentine Franco Cervi on the left side after serving a penalty against Betis.

Peruvian international Renato Tapia could be the other novelty in midfield, if the Argentine coach chooses to rest Fran Beltrán to keep Gabri Veiga in the eleven after highlighting the last day. Therefore, former Barça players Carles Pérez and Óscar Mingueza, two of the summer reinforcements, will start on the bench on their return home.

FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia, Pique, Balde; Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri; Raphinha Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.

Vigo Celtic: Marchesín; Hugo Mallo, Aidoo, Unai Nunez, Javi Galan; Tapia or Beltran; Oscar Rodriguez, Gabri Veiga, Franco Cervi; Aspas and Larsen.
