Luis Enrique takes on the ghost of his worst league defeat
Just over a year ago, Barcelona travelled to Vigo and were given a mighty whooping by Celta
Barcelona have a bad memory from their last trip to Balaidos. They were humiliated 4-1 on their travels. That game is fresh in the minds of many at the club's sports complex. It was the worst defeat Luis Enrique and his team had suffered in La Liga.
The coach is preparing for the next visit, on Sunday, with special attention, looking to avoid the same thing happening again, just over a year later (23rd September 2015). Barcelona fell into Celta's trap, with Nolito running riot in particular. "We were not effective," said Lucho, praising Celta for their fine display.
Luis Enrique is looking for a different game. He doesn't want to repeat mistakes and is looking for various tactics to take on a game with similar characteristics to the last. The coach, who cannot call on Messi, may use Rafinha in the attacking line.
Celta arrive at the game in good form after a bad start to the season which saw them lose three games running. They have two draws and three wins after that.
