  3. We haven’t won Celta away since 2020.
    But I have a good feeling for this one.

  4. If we stop Aspas from bullying us then it’s an easy win. If not, he alone can carry Celta Vigo to the win given the fact ge turns into prime Messi against us

  5. I have a terrible feeling about this. Predicting that the majority of comments after the game will be about Xavi having to be sacked immediately.

  6. Wish Hoque would just start in the beginning of the match and lewy needs rest ffs but it ain’t happening

  7. Please bench Yamal and Gundo they need to be fresh for Napoli
