Barcelona

The win gave Barcelona confidence before decisive UEFA Champions League group game against Inter Milan.

Valladolid, coming off its second win of the season, was in 13th place. Betis had defender Luiz Felipe red carded in the 20th minute of its previous league game, a 1-0 loss at Celta. “They had some clear chances to score in the end. “We struggled too much in the second half,” Xavi said. “We created five or six chances in the second half.” Barcelona keeps on winning — at least in the Spanish La Liga 2022-23.

Barcelona moved back to the top of the La Liga table with a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo at Camp Nou, thanks to a first half goal from Pedri.

Strand Larsen did get the ball in the back of the net for the visitors but Barcelona escaped when it was ruled out for an offside in the build-up. Barcelona were dominant in the first 45 minutes and were good value for their half-time lead but Celta came roaring back after the break and had chances to equalise. Despite the loss of some key men, Barca took an early lead when Gavi teed up Pedri to open the scoring in the 17th minute.

Celta have lost three of their last four league games and are 11th on 10 points, four above the relegation zone.

Camp Nou is the setting for the last of Sunday's games as Xavi's side will look for the win that will take the Catalan side back to the LaLiga summit.

The Catalan's form in Europe is a different story where they are in a tight spot in a tough group after back-to-back defeats to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. It was great when Greece won the Euros and it was really special when Leicester won the league in England. Barcelona have been on a tremendous run since the 2022-23 LaLiga campaign got underway in August and are currently on a six game winning run. Celta Vigo, meanwhile, have had an up-and-down start to the campaign. Still nothing to trouble Marchesin in the Celta goal however. A start at Camp Nou very much in keeping with the script... It’s special and healthy for the game when a smaller club beats a big one. Remember Coudet the Celta coach is not in the Catalan capital this evening as he had to return to his native Argentina for personal reasons. The game resumes and the German stays on the pitch but looks to be moving awkwardly. Celta now well in the game. Barcelona free and the Catalan side opt to go short. the visitors have yet to manage a shot on goal.

Atletico Madrid have reached an agreement with LaLiga rivals Barcelona for the permanent transfer of Antoine Griezmann.

"In addition, the French striker has signed a contract that will link him to our club until 30 June 2026." Griezmann, who joined Barca from Atletico for £108m in 2019, has agreed a contract until June 2026 to complete his return to Civitas Metropolitano. Griezmann, who has scored 42 times in 110 international caps and lifted the World Cup in 2018, has registered three goals and two assists in 11 club outings this term.

Barcelona's legendary midfield Sergio Busquets is in the last year of his contract. He has, until now, not decided on his future beyond 2023.

Real Sociedad has given him a new contract to safeguard his long-term future. Zubimendi and Real Sociedad are in negotiations to renew his contract. Sergio has scripted his name as one of the best defensive midfielders in the game.

Barcelona head coach Xavi believes that if his team plays in the way they did in the first half of their 1-0 win over La Liga yesterday evening they will.

“If we play like we did in the second half, we won’t beat Inter,” the coach said, “but if we play like in the first half, we will.” Barcelona Coach Xavi: “If We Play As We Did In First Half Against Celta Vigo We’ll Beat Inter” Barcelona head coach Xavi believes that if his team plays in the way they did in the first half of their 1-0 win over La Liga yesterday evening they will be able to beat Inter on Wednesday.

"Three weeks ago we were flying and now we're not," Barcelona coach said Xavi after the game against Celta. The Catalans are going through a small slump ...

We have to go for the second goal and be more ambitious." The same thing happened against Mallorca and Inter. An average of almost three goals per game. The Blaugrana squad has been plagued by injuries. This week, Barcelona have to get back to their best. A similar statement to the one he made in Mallorca: "In the first half we were good, but in the second we dropped off and we can't allow that. In Mallorca he broke the deadlock with a goal, but against Inter and Celta he was not the decisive player he had been at the start of the season. MARCA looks at the key points to understand the current situation. And Xavi needs all the players to be at 100% in this crucial stretch of the season, especially taking into account the many injuries the team has suffered. But in the last three weeks, the number of players with injuries has been increasing and the defence has been the most affected. Despite struggling at the back in many parts of the games, and thanks also to the excellent form of Ter Stegen, the Catalans have only conceded one goal over the three games. The Catalans are going through a small slump after the international break precisely at the most crucial moment of the season, as this week they play Inter in the Champions League and then comes the first Clasico of the season with the league lead in the balance.

The two Barcelona youngsters did well against Celta Vigo. Can they repeat in the upcoming Champions League fixture or El Clasico?

[Iago Aspas](https://www.espn.in/football/player/_/id/92800/Iago-Aspas) loves playing against Barcelona. His record against [Marc-Andre ter Stegen](https://www.espn.in/football/player/_/id/140740/Marc-André-ter-Stegen) is even better: nine in 11 outings.

Gavi breached Celta's offside trap and when his dangerous cross was only half dealt with by [Unai Nunez](https://www.espn.in/football/player/_/id/260902/Unai-Núñez), Pedri had the simple task of rolling the ball home from close range.

[Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst) The win was their seventh in a row.

Barca have not been able to repeat their league success in the group stage of the European competition.

“We suffered a bit more than we should have,” Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso said. “We created five or six chances in the second half.” Barcelona keep on winning — at least in La Liga.
