Barcelona vs Celtic live online

Keep in tune with all the action from the Champions League with our coverage of Barcelona vs Celtic live online here on oleolefootball.watchlive.net, coverage starting from 19:45 GMT 5^th March 2008. Barcelona carry with them an emphatic 3-2 lead coming into this clash with Celtic at home at the Camp Nou. Barcelona have had a mediocre season thus yet and will be hoping to spark back into action with a favourable result that will help them seal qualification into the next round of the Champions League.

Brilliant strike performances by Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry secured a precious 3-2 lead away at Celtic last time around in the first leg. Despite going behind on two occasions Frank Rijkaard’s men were on the attack from the word go and in all reality looked capable of plenty more. Barcelona maintained a staggering 75% possession in that clash and will be hoping to do the same at the Camp Nou this time around. The 2006 Champions will have most of the squad available for this clash and Frank Rijkaard id expected to play with a mixture of caution and aggression. Thierry Henry will make way for Etoo upfront which will see the strike trio of Messi, Etoo and Ronaldinho up front for the first time this season in Europe. Barcelona come into this clash on the back of a 4-2 weekend loss against Atletico Bilbao and given the current scheme of things in the table, Frank Rijkaard will be aiming for European success as the la Liga title looks to be slipping away from the Catalan giants.

While Barcelona are the only team to have secured wins in Celtic Park this century, Celtic haven’t done poorly at all in the Nou Camp over the past few years. Celtic have secured two draws in their last two European matches in Barcelona and have secured their only away Champions League point at the Camp Nou. Celtic however, were given a brutal lesson in possession football last time around by the Catalans and will be hoping to make the most of the wide spaces in the Camp Nou in order to get a famous victory. Celtic need to score atleast two goals to progress through to the next round and given their away form in Europe, it will take something special from Gordon Strachan and his troops of they are to make it through to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
