Celta Vigo vs Barcelona LIVE
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: Estadio Municipal de Balaidos
Date: Saturday, May 4, 2019
Kick-off: 7:45pm BST, tonight
Barcelona are sitting pretty across the board as they travel to Galicia for their next LaLiga fixture against Celta Vigo tonight.
Ernesto Valverde's side clinched their 26th domestic title and eighth in 11 years with three games to spare thanks to a narrow win over Levante last weekend, before putting one foot in a first Champions League final since 2015 by brushing aside Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg of their semi-final tie.
The Blaugrana will also face Valencia later this month in an attempt to win their fifth successive Copa del Rey crown as they close in on a third treble in club history.
Saturday's game is more significant for Celta, who are not yet safe from relegation danger.

Barcelona team news and line-up
As he did against Huesca between the quarter-final wins over Manchester United, and with the title now successfully wrapped up, Valverde is free to ring the changes against Celta Vigo.
That offers another opportunity to second-string players such as Malcom and Kevin-Prince Boateng as well as youngsters Jean-Clair Todibo, Moussa Wague, Carles Alena and Riqui Puig.
Barca XI: Cillessen, Umtiti, Todibo, Vermaelen, Wague, Alena, Puig, Arthur, Boateng, Malcom, Dembele
Score prediction: Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona
A full-strength Barcelona team would likely win comfortably, but a weakened/experimental XI may find it tough against a battling Celta side desperate to secure their place in the Spanish top-flight for another season.
When the two sides met in December in the final match before the winter break, Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi both netted in a 2-0 win for the hosts at Camp Nou.
