Spanish League – Barcelona – Celta Vigo 3-2: An amazing comeback in the round of 8 for the Blaugrana team

An impressive Barcelona team beat Celta Vigo 3-2 in the match of the sixth day of the Spanish League, at the end of an extraordinary comeback in the final minutes. Yes, because the visitors played a fantastic game for at least 75 minutes: Benitez’s team took a 2-0 lead away from home and put Lewandowski and his teammates in a big trap. Xavi’s squad has huge possessions as usual, but they can’t find a way forward. But in the final, thanks once again to the Polish striker, the hosts burst forth and turned the game on its head in eight minutes.

A very difficult victory for the Catalans, perhaps even undeserved. But what matters is the three points arrived that allow them to temporarily jump to the top of La Liga and, together with surprising Girona and waiting for Real Madrid, on stage tomorrow in the derby against Atletico. But let’s put things in order and see what happened on the field.

A strange first half in Catalonia. Barcelona enjoy possession and plenty of play, but it is the visitors who take the lead after a few minutes through Strand Larsen and come close to doubling the lead on several occasions towards the end of the first half. For Xavi’s side, Lewandowski and Ferran’s first half was an unknown, while Joao Felix tried to create something on the left wing. Even in the second half, the hosts kept possession, but Celta were dangerous with Aspas, Bamba and Mingueza. Lots of changes, especially for Xavi and Barcelona’s awakening. Ferran Torres had two great chances to equalize but wasted both sensationally. Thus, Celta doubled their lead with new substitute Dovikas, who was brilliantly served by Iago Aspas.

It seemed to be the goal that ended the match. Instead, this was the slap needed to unleash Lewandowski. The Polish reduced the gap one minute later in the 81st minute and raised the morale of all his teammates. Barcelona moved forward and Lewa scored the equalizer again in the 85th minute. Celta left the field and three minutes later Joao Cancelo found the ball after an assist from Javi, ending the final match 3-2. An exciting celebration in Barcelona, ​​with a crazy comeback in eight minutes.
