Gavi on the wing again? Select ultimate XI for Celta Vigo clash from 3 options

The ninth spot in La Liga is not where a team of Barcelona's calibre should be, that's why the Catalans should aim for the win against Celta Vigo.

Sergi Barjuan's options are limited, but he'll have to pick the strongest line-up available in what could be his last game in charge of the first team. Here are some of the possibilities.

Option 1

The Catalans looked decent against Dynamo Kyiv, and the interim coach could decide to keep more or less the same line-up. Although Gavi is not a nominal winger, he looked okay playing in that spot before.

The only change would be Ronald Araujo, who has been training with the group for a while now, starting ahead of Clement Lenglet.

Option 2

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen - Mingueza, Garcia, Lenglet, Alba - Busquets, Nico, F. de Jong - Demir, Memphis, Ansu Fati.

If Araujo is not yet ready to start, Lenglet could retain his spot in the starting line-up.

As for the attack, Yusuf Demir is an option to play on the right wing. He had a good pre-season but has not that much recently.

Option 3

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen - Mingueza, Garcia, Umtiti, Alba - Busquets, Nico, Gavi - Coutinho, Memphis, Ansu Fati.

It's also worth remembering that Lenglet had to be taken off due to a knock against Dynamo. If neither Clement nor Araujo are ready to play from the start, Samuel Umtiti could finally get his chance.

In midfield, Gavi could replace Frenkie de Jong as the Dutchman reportedly played through injury the previous match.

Finally, Philippe Coutinho could be deployed on the right wing. It is obviously not his preferred spot on the pitch, but he's been used there in the past.
