Claudio Giráldez spoke to the media ahead of another matchday of this tournament: "It's one of the most difficult pitches because, if not the best, Barcelona is currently among the two or three best teams in the world. They're leaders of La Liga, they're in the Copa del Rey final, and they're semi-finalists in the Champions League. What they're doing this year is incredibly impressive."
"Sometimes opponents don't let you implement your plan, but the locker room is clear that we go to any pitch to face the opponents head-on, respecting them and playing to our strengths. We've shown ourselves that we can beat any team.

Hansi Flick said before this match: "I think the important thing is that Celta has a clear style of play and philosophy, and we have to show our strengths, which we didn't show in Dortmund. Today we talked about what we need to improve."

"Do you know how many games we've played in the last two weeks? We're in the same situation we just experienced ahead of the Milan game. We arrive late, at three, going to bed at five. This is what happens here. In every league, clubs are protected when the Champions League is being played. We don't have time to rest. Those who make the decisions have no idea. But we're in the semifinals, and the other team is out. Maybe we're not at our best, but I'm proud of my team. In Dortmund, we didn't play our best game. It's April 18th, and if someone had told us we'd be in the Cup final, in the Champions League semifinals, top of the table... we wouldn't have believed it. We've only lost one game; thanks to the first game, we're in the semifinals. The team knows what it needs to do tomorrow, and I hope it proves it."

"Between this game, the Dortmund game, and the Celta Vigo game, we have one more day. We arrived late, but we managed it well. The players are young, and the veterans are very professional. We have to give 100 percent, no matter how many minutes we're playing. Someone might be tired, but we have to give 100 percent, and if someone is tired, they ask to be substituted. We have to look in the mirror and be honest and see if we're giving 100 percent. The players give it their all, no matter if they play 45 minutes or 10. They give everything. And the club is fantastic."

This was the Celta Vigo's last lineup, so changes could be made.
Vicente Guaita; Javi Rodríguez, Carl Starfelt, Marcos Alonso, Óscar Mingueza; Fran Beltrán, Sergio Carreira, Iago Aspas, Hugo Sotelo, Alfonso González; Pablo Durán.

This was Hansi Flick's last lineup, so it could be repeated in this game.
Wojciech Szczesny; Gerard Martín; Pau Cubarsí; Ronald Araujo; Joules Koundé; Gavi; Frenkie de Jong; Raphinha; Fermín López; Lamine Yamal; Robert Lewandowski.

Celta couldn't emerge victorious in their last LaLiga game. The opponent that ultimately defeated them was RCD Espanyol, where the visiting team fell 2-0, a rather complex game.

Barcelona came into this match after securing their qualification against Borussia Dortmund. Although it was a rather complex duel, as they fell 3-1, it was thanks to the aggregate score that the Spaniards made it to the semifinals.

In this preview, we'll bring you the most relevant news from this match, updates, and everything happening around this stadium, the Olympic Stadium of Montjuïc, which will host a great match. Ninety minutes of excitement are ahead.
