Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is not in favor of any mistakes in their situation in the Spanish league. But the fear of losing points against Celta Vigo lingered. Long match was equal! The Catalan giants finally left the field with a 2-1 goal victory in the late drama. Lewandowski scored both goals for Barca.
It can be said that the familiar Barca was not seen in this match either. The first goal came from Lewandowski’s brilliant effort before the first half break. Early on, the Polish forward was found by winger Lamine Yamal. He then created space and beat the goalkeeper with a bullet speed shot.
The under pressure 17th in the points table also became desperate to defend themselves after that. Rafa Benitez’s Celta equalized in the 47th minute. Iago Aspas’ shot deflected into the net.
The match is tied with excitement. Celta tried their best to win the match. Aspas had three chances before Fran Beltran’s mistake, but could not capitalize on it. Then Celta defender Beltran made a mistake in the 93rd minute. He hit Yamal’s leg while clearing the ball in added time. Barca gets a penalty. This spot kick creates drama. Laver’s first shot was blocked by the Celta goalkeeper. But in the review, it can be seen that he was standing in front of the goal line before the shot! At the second attempt, Lewandowski put the ball into the net for an incredible 2-1 win.
Barca is now third with 54 points from 25 matches. Real Madrid is at the top with 61 points in 24 matches. Girona is second with 56 points from the draw.
