Match in Group H of the Champions League Barcelona vs Celtic which took place on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 does not specify anymore . Barcelona had already left for the last 16 , were officially eliminated Celtic , but a team of Tata Martino took at least one digit to confirm themselves as group winners . " This game is still very important because we want to win the group . We have to win and play well . Barcelona target is to qualify for the last 16 as group winners , escaped from 32 of the Copa del Rey and the Spanish league standings before the Christmas holidays , " said Tata Martino .

Neymar back into the spotlight because when Lionel Messi injured , the Brazilian is not shining . Contrast with Gareth Bale when Cristiano Ronaldo missed , but Martino asserted . " Neymar is not a scorer like Lionel Messi . He is a pitcher like Alexis Sanchez , Pedro Rodriguez and Cesc Fabregas . "

Barcelona is still the same circumstances . Nothing Lionel Messi , Victor Valdes and Dani Alves . Cesc Fabregas could not be played due to yellow card accumulation . No problem , there are still Neymar - Pedro - Alexis . If not , one of Andres Iniesta or Sergi Roberto may be encouraged as a false nine .

Celtic has a slick preparation before the game against Barcelona . They recorded 12 goals without reply in the domestic competition in the last two games , but they will lose Emilio Izaguirre , Steven Mouyokolo , Tom Rogic , and James Forrest , but Giorgios Samaras and Nir Biton may be present in this game .

Coach Neil Lennon admitted , " obtaining a good result against Barcelona is the important thing . We will no doubt have to show you the most leverage. Barcelona lost dar Atthletic Bilbao despite their impressive performances in several occasions . " Is there a special guard for Neymar ? Lennon did not implement that strategy . For him the main thing is discipline , the ability to apply tactics , and dare to carry the ball . In addition , the coach added Celtic need some special moments alias luck .

The second game the team always goes fierce with only one point difference . Possibility that this also happens in the Camp Nou . Barcelona of course also want to save energy for the sake of the weekend.
