Barcelona didn’t get the result they wanted in the first leg of their Copa del Rey tie against Celta Vigo, and they’ll need to be much better in the second leg if they want to advance to the quarterfinal round.

To do that, Barcelona will need to be much better in the final third, where they were flat, inefficient, and easily stifled by Celta in the first leg. It was honestly one of Barcelona’s worst attacking performances of the season so far, and they need to be their normal sharp and lethal selves to advance and meet their goals this season.
That’s because Celta’s early-season poor form has started to slowly turn around — while they still sit just 15th in La Liga and have lost two of their last five matches, they’ve been a much tougher opponent. They played very very well in their 1-1 in the first leg against Barcelona a week ago, and played just as well in a 2-2 draw against Real Madrid at the weekend. It’s going to be interesting to see how they rise to the challenge of potentially knocking Barcelona out of the Copa on Thursday, and it could serve as a big spark to their season.
