Led 2-0 by Celta Vigo, FC Barcelona managed to reverse the trend by scoring three goals in eight minutes at the end of the match. The Catalan club temporarily takes first place in La Liga.

This Saturday evening, FC Barcelona hosted Celta Vigo for the sixth day of La Liga. In the 18th minute of play, Iago Aspas was close to opening the scoring. The captain of the visiting team made a left lob which Ter Stegen deflected for a corner (18th). In the process, the Bleu Ciel et Blanc this time found the net, thanks to an inside right from Jorgen Strand Larsen (1-0, 19th). The Norwegian even had the opportunity to make the break, but Ter Stegen stopped his header (41st). Behind, Oriol Romeu took the ball away from Jonathan Bamba and Luca de la Torre shot over.

In the second half, Ferran Torres narrowly missed the equalizer, crossing his shot too far (64th). While Jonathan Bamba was not far from making the break (71st), it came some time later with an achievement from Anastasios Douvikas. The Greek center forward beat Ter Stegen from the left (2-0.76).

At the end of the match, the Blaugrana regained hope. Following a sublime ladle from Joao Felix, Robert Lewandowski lobbed Ivan Villar (2-1, 81st). The Pole scored a double, victoriously taking a cross from Cancelo with his right foot (2-2, 85th). In the final minutes of the match, the Portuguese full-back gave his team victory with a shot from the right (3-2, 89th).

Thanks to this comeback, FC Barcelona temporarily takes control of La Liga, before the clash between Real and Atlético, Sunday evening at 9 p.m.
