Barcelona headed into Sunday’s match still with a chance of winning La Liga but those hopes fizzled out completely as the hosts crashed to a miserable defeat against Celta in their final home game of 2020-21.
It was a familar story as Barcelona once again passed up a host of chances to put the game out of sight and were then undone by some nonsense defending. It’s something we’ve seen a lot this season and to see it once again shows this team is going nowhere at present.
The way Barca reeled in Atletico with a 19-match unbeaten run was truly impressive but since then, and when it counted, the Catalans have managed just one win in five.
