The short-term goal set by Xavi

For Xavi Hernández, there is not in this moment a more important party that the one of the Sunday in front of the Celtic in the Spotify Camp Nou. To a week before the Classical in front of the Real Madrid, the technician egarense insists to his directed the importance to arrive leaders to Santiago Bernabéu, for which have to win to the Galician group in the day 8. The míster of Terrassa knows that LaLiga can define in the Classical, but does not want to leave escape more points home.

For the moment, the Barça only has 'punctured' this season in front of the Ray Vallecano in the temple culé. It was in the debut in LaLiga (0-0), a party in which the blaugranas lacked ideas and puntería to sell to the Madrilenian group. In front of the Celtic, Xavi knows that it needs rotar so that the team arrive well to the party of the Wednesday in front of the Inter, where his directed play the life in the Champions League.

However, further of the trascendetal of the crash in front of the 'nerazzurri', the technician egarense emphasized the need to arrive leaders to the Classical to minimise the impact of a possible trip in Madrid. The Celtic comes to win to the Betis in the past day (1-0), but has not gone him at all well like visitor. In his last exits finish goleado in front of the Athletic (4-1) and Valencia (3-0), by which the Barça will try to resolve the early party betting by the forcefulness of the offensive trident integrated by Ousmane Dembélé, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

The last antecedent in front of the ones of Eduardo Coudet in the Spotify Camp Nou was the past 10 May. The Barça attained to impose by 3-1 with doublet of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (today in Chelsea) and a so much of Memphis Depay. Iago Sails discounted by the visit in a party in which the Celtic arrived a lot to the arch defended by Marc-André ter Stegen that this day will try to expand his personal record of imbatibilidad (at present of 534 minutes).

The doubts of the Barça in defence to sustain the leadership

The multiple drops by injury that drags the team will force to Xavi Hernández to bet, probably, by a defence conformed by Sergi Roberto, Gerard Hammered, Eric Harcía and Alejandro Balde. To the known drops of Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé and Héctor Bellerín added this week Andreas Christensen, lesionado in Milan in front of the Inter. If it does not play Roberto, the another option would be to repeat with Balde by right and Jordi Alba by left, as it ranged the Barça in Mallorca the past week.
