Five talking points from Barcelona 3-1 Celta Vigo

Barcelona ran out 3-1 winners against Celta Vigo on Tuesday but the hosts really struggled at times at the Camp Nou and the win was certainly not as comfortable as the scoreline suggests.

For once the tables were turned as Barcelona were clinical in front of goal while their opponents were not. The hosts scored three of their four efforts on target, while Celta netted once from five shots on goal.

The sending off of former Barca man Jeison Murillo on 58 minutes also helped out the Catalan giants who looked utterly confused by Xavi’s tactics and set-up in the first half.
