Barcelona have temporarily extended their lead at the top of the La Liga table to 7 points thanks to a wild 4-3 comeback win against Celta Vigo at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium on Saturday afternoon. After a poor start to the game the Blaugrana found themselves 3-1 down after an hour, but a furious second half comeback capped by a 98th minute winner by Raphinha from the penalty spot gave the Catalans three gigantic points to stay in control of the title race for another weekend.
FIRST HALF
Despite not having Lamine Yamal in the lineup, who began a game on the bench for the first time in months, Barça had a strong start to the contest with good passing from the back to beat Celta’s high press and quick, incisive movements in the final third to generate good attacks.
