Valverde: Unbeaten season motivates Barcelona
However, with the 2018 FIFA World Cup less than 60 days from kickoff, while Barca are few games away from being crowned La Liga champions.
Ernesto Valverde says Barcelona are motivated by the chance to make LaLiga history by going unbeaten for a whole season, but the coach wants to wrap up the title first.
"We have faced Celta three times already and it will be a tough game", the Spaniard said in his pre-match press conference.
As noted in the same report, Messi has been suffering with a knock, although he featured in matches against Sevilla, Leganes and Roma recently.

"On Tuesday we didn't play the match that was required, it was not a match to be eliminated in". "Right now, I'm happy with the game, because LaLiga means a huge amount". Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique could get the night off, while Ivan Rakitic misses out with an injured finger. So much goes through Messi in Barca's attacking mechanisms.
Barcelona are on course to win La Liga but will spend big again this summer after a shock defeat to Roma in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But Valverde may yet earn a double in his first season. They also still have Real Madrid to meet on May 6.
Barcelona midfielder Iniesta is expected to confirm his departure from the Camp Nou after this weekend's Copa del Rey final. The French forward has shown glimpses of his quality after returning from a hamstring injury in January, registering five league assists, although he is yet to get off the mark domestically.
