FC Barcelona and Celtic of Glasgow will confront this Tuesday 13 September in the Camp Nou (20.45 hours), in the corresponding party to the first day of the phase of groups of the UEFA Champions League 2016-17
It begins the competition of clubs more prestigious of the world. FC Barcelona and Celtic of Glasgow will confront this Tuesday from the 20.45 hours (Spanish hour) in the first day of the phase of groups of the UEFA Champions League 2016-17. It will be a crash of two opposite dynamics, because of the defeat culé in front of the Alavés the Saturday (1-2) and to the goleada of the Celtic on the Glasgow Rangers (5-1), that will do that the ones of Brendan Rodgers assist with the morals by the clouds to the Camp Nou. Luis Enrique, this time, foresees that it plant on the lawn to his best available men, with a radically distinct defence to the one of the meeting in front of the Alavés and, besides, the presence of the "MSN" in attack.
Griffiths Will be almost with total security the main drop of the Celtic FC in front of the Barça, taking into account that it treats of his big reference in attack and maximum goleador the past season. In spite of this, the British group will explain in the offensive line with his big feeling of the weekend, Moussa Dembélé, author of a "hat-trick" in front of the Rangers and with many win to make a good performance in the Camp Nou. Further of the alignments, the true is that it will be also a duel of reunions, as the one of Brendan Rodgers -ex technician of the Liverpool- with Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan saves a big relation with the trainer of the Celtic, and sure that this will have a talk with his defensive flank to try brake to the charrúa in the area, standing out which are his main strong points.
Another of the inducements will be to see again the Camp Nou engalanado with flags esteladas, since diverse Catalan platforms will deliver until 30.000 during the previous minutes to the party, when the followers begin to access to the stadium. With all this, the aim of the Barça will be to claim after the defeat of does some days achieving an overwhelming goleada on the Celtic, whereas the Scottish club will try to survive as it can and leave "alive" of the sanctuary blaugrana, with the will to add some point in the first day of the phase of groups.
It does not foresee that the Celtic of Brendan Rodgers do too many rotations regarding the meeting in front of the Glasgow Rangers, and here precisely will be one of the keys of the party, since the majority of players of the Barça himself will arrive cool after the rotations of Luis Enrique in front of the Alavés. The Barça already won 3-1 in pre-season 2016 to the Celtic, but this meeting will be radically distinct when being already official. Throwing an ojeada backwards in the time, anyway, to the Barcelona has not gone him of the all bad against the Scottish, especially in the Camp Nou.
It fits to remember, for example, the 6-1 -the party of the first "hat-trick" of Neymar with the Barça- of December of 2013, in addition to the others five previous parties that saldaron with victories adjusted by part of the FC Barcelona. Victoria of the Barça 1-0 in 2008, triumph culé 2-1 in November of 2012 and victory also by the minimum (0-1) in October of 2013, this time in Celtic Park. It is likely, in definite, that the Celtic do not put the easy things and go out to plant expensive and try win the party, especially by the pride of a historical club. The Barça, however, will be prepared.
