Barcelona vs Celta Vigo, La Liga: Final Score 1-2, Barça melt away in second half, lose at home

Barcelona are mathematically out of the La Liga title race thanks to a 2-1 loss to Celta Vigo in their home finale at Camp Nou. Barça started well and took the lead, but as usual under Ronald Koeman they fell apart in the second half and conceded a late winner in what was maybe Lionel Messi’s last home game for Barça.

FIRST HALF

Barça were the better team for the first 30 minutes, dominating possession and managing to create good situations against a low block from Celta, who didn’t press as high as they usually do and had absolutely nothing to offer on the counter, and the Blaugrana were always dangerous whenever Lionel Messi touched the ball.
