Barca will be at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday night after qualifying for the semifinal of the Champions League despite a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.
The Catalan giants looked tired in that game, and coach Hansi Flick will have to consider resting Lamine Yamal after the youngster seemed to play nearly every game, reports Xinhua. Inigo Martinez should be fresh after resting on Tuesday, while Gerard Martin continues at left back for the injured Alejandro Balde.
