Barcelona vs. Celtic Live Stream, Preview, Predictions for Champions League 2016-17 As Messi's Status Remains Unclear
Barcelona and Celtic meet in the group stage of the Champions League 2016-17.
The big story heading into this game is the status of star Lionel Messi. The Argentine is nursing a groin injury and the timetable on his return remains unknown.
Barcelona however are unlikely to rush him back, especially with star Neymar returning for the club and looking to be in top form. Neymar led Brazil to an Olympic Gold medal this summer and was terrific in helping the team win its two World Cup qualifiers last week.
Moreover, top scorer Luis Suarez is in top form, picking up where he left off last season to kick off the 2016-17 season.
Celtic has faced Barcelona four times since 2012-13, recording a record of one win and three defeats; the lone win came a home.
Prediction
Even if Messi does not play, this game should not be particularly difficult for Luis Suarez and Neymar to dominate. Barcelona wins 3-0.
Start Time, Date, Location
Barcelona and Celtic kick off at 2:45 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
Live Stream and TV Info
