2025-26 Spanish La Liga
Matchday 12
Celta Vigo v Barcelona
Estadio Balaidos
Vigo, Spain
Sunday, 9 November 2025
Kick-off is at 20h00
Barcelona will be looking to stay in touch with
La Liga leaders Real Madrid when they lock horns with Celta Vigo at Balaidos in the late kick-off on Sunday, November 9.
The Blaugrana gave the perfect response to their 2-1 El Clasico defeat at the hands of Los Blancos by beating newly-promoted Elche 3-1 on November 2.
Hansi Flick's side are five points behind their arch-rivals in second place, but could find themselves eight adrift of Real by the time they face Celta in the final fixture of the round.
Barca squandered a two-goal lead on their last visit to Vigo as they had to settle for a 2-2 draw, but the Catalan giants came out on top in a seven-goal thriller (4-3) in their next meeting on home soil.
Los Celestes appear to have turned the corner after a slow start to the season which saw them fail to win their opening nine games (seven draws and two losses).
Claudio Giraldez's side are now unbeaten in their last four outings after running out 2-1 victors over Levante on November 2 - their second win on the trot.
Celta have pulled four points clear of the relegation zone and are just five shy the UEFA Conference League berth in ninth position.
Flick believes there are still areas where his team can improve, but admitted they took a step in the right direction after the setback against Real.
"I saw many things we did well, but I also saw some we didn't do well. We have to improve," the German said.
"We are more confident with this victory, it is another step, but we have to continue. I am happy and we have to think positively about the games to come."
