The Catalan giants beat arch-rivals Real Madrid 4-3 at the Bernabeu on Sunday to breathe new life into their title defence.
The thrilling triumph - which was inspired by a hat-trick from Argentine superstar Lionel Messi - means Gerardo Martino's side are now within one point of leaders Atletico Madrid and Real.

LAST MEETING
Celta Vigo 0-3 FC Barcelona – 29th October 2013 – La Liga
Strangely enough, this was another midweek kick-off – and an easy win for the Blaugrana who cruised to victory courtesy of goals from Alexis Sánchez (a rare away goal for the Chilean), an own-goal from Yoel and a Cesc Fàbregas strike, ably assisted by Lionel Messi.
LIKELY LINE-UPS
Barcelona (4-3-3): Valdés; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Adriano; Busquets, Fàbregas, Iniesta; Alexis, Messi, Pedro
Celta (4-3-2-1): Yoel; Mallo, Costas, Fontas, Aurtenetxe; Oubina, Alex, Madinda; Fernandez, Nolito; Charles
MATCH PREDICTION
No contest. I’m going for a Manita.
