Celta Vigo vs Barcelona, La Liga: Final Score 1-2, Lewandowski scores late winner as Barça escape Balaídos with valuable victory

Barcelona will finish the weekend in third place in the La Liga table and just two points off second spot thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win away to Celta Vigo at the Balaídos Stadium on Saturday evening. Barça were far from their best all night and needed to wait until the 97th minute to take all three points, but a double from Robert Lewandowski and yet another decisive performance from Lamine Yamal gave the Blaugrana all three points at one of the toughest grounds in the country.

FIRST HALF

The first 45 minutes followed a very clear pattern: Celta sat back and parked the bus, and Barça had all of the ball and tried to patiently move it to create chances.
