Trailing 2-0 against Celta Vigo this Saturday, FC Barcelona won thanks to three goals in the last 10 minutes.

It is with full confidence that the FC Barcelona received the Celta Vigo, 17th in Liga, this Saturday. After two scathing victories (5-0) against Bétis Sevilla and Royal Antwerp, the Blaugrana had the opportunity to temporarily take the lead in the championship in the event of a victory.

But Xavi’s men were very uninspired in the first act. If they kept the ball for 75% of the time, the Barcelonans were unable to bring speed to their attacks and serve Robert Lewandowski in good conditions. Well in place defensively, the Celta players proceeded with sharp counterattacks and ended up finding the fault on a hazardous recovery from Joao Cancelo in the axis, allowing Jorgen Larsen to open the scoring by deceiving Ter Stegen with a curling shot. (0-1, 19th). This goal does not really make the Catalans react, who return to the locker room with a goal behind and without having shown the good things seen during the last two matches.

Barça underwater

The second act starts at the same pace, even if their attacks are more frank and dangerous. But by not concluding, Lewandowski’s teammates are once again. punished, this time by Anastasios Douvikas who crucified Ter Stegen. (0-2, 76th).

Lewandowski as savior

Belatedly, the locals finally reacted and, on a superb ladle from Joao Félix, Robert Lewandowski restarts the meeting by reducing the gap. (1-2, 81st) He did it again five minutes later on a serve from Joao Cancelo, scoring his fifth goal of the season in La Liga. (2-2, 86th) The end of the match is totally crazy since in the 90th minute, Joao Cancelo scored a real striker’s goal from a Gavi cross, giving his team the victory after having shown almost nothing for 80 minutes.

Barça won 3-2 in the money time, recorded a sixth consecutive success in all competitions and temporarily took the lead in La Liga.
