Jordi Alba to miss Barcelona-Celta Vigo clash
Barca target Nolito and Aspas combined to give Celta a 2-0 lead at the break in Vigo, courtesy of two quick-fire goals approaching the half-hour mark.

And after Neymar pulled an 80th-minute goal back, substitute John Guidetti clipped in three minutes later as unbeaten Celta wrapped up another triumph over their former boss Luis Enrique – his worst league defeat in charge of Barca – to add to the win they registered at the Nou Camp last term. Just four minutes later Pique decided that a one-nothing hole wasn’t big enough and coughed up the ball in midfield, leaving Aspas going alone on the Barcelona goalkeeper. The pertinent issue however, is they play Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Barcelona vs Levante 2015 (en vivo live score results below) delivers a huge battle in the La Liga within minutes.
Just as Barca really upped the tempo it all came crumbling down, Nolito releasing Aspas after Celta cleared a corner and the local favourite producing another cool finish.
The champions had another opportunity shortly afterwards when Messi combined with Neymar but the Brazilian could only shoot straight at Sergio from a decent opening. It was even more save four minutes later when Nolito sprung Aspas again and the forward again beat ter Stegen.
Pique then headed just over and Messi saw another powerful effort turned behind by Alvarez.
But rather than dwelling upon his own team’s shortcomings, Enrique preferred to lavish praise upon his former club Celta, claiming: “I’d rather lose against a team like Celta, who play good football without just trapping you”.
Enrique had spoken of Levante getting as many players behind the ball as possible, but his shift in tactics did not work in a disjointed first half when Barca were profligate in possession and missed the intelligence of Suarez.
The following summer he was shipped out to Sevilla on loan, and now he’s at Celta Vigo, who purchased him ahead of the current season.
