Barça achieves a victory with drama in the final moments of the match. Hansi Flick's team is not finding good feelings in the decisive phase of the season, but they have managed to turn around a score that was 1-3. It was in one of those crazy matches against Celta, taking the lead, falling behind, and then coming back.
Everything seemed to be going well in the 12th minute when Ferran Torres opened the scoring with a great shot from outside the box. But Barcelona didn't take long to complicate things, conceding the equalizing goal three minutes later due to a mistake by Szczesny. After that, the match calmed down until halftime, but then it went completely crazy.
In a matter of ten minutes, Borja Iglesias completed his personal hat-trick, silencing Montjuïc and putting Celta ahead on the scoreboard by 1-3. Hansi Flick was forced to make substitutions, which worked quickly: Olmo narrowed the gap in the 64th minute, and four minutes later, Raphinha finished a great cross into the goal.
At times, Celta's goal seemed to be downhill, but Barça had serious difficulties turning it around. The decisive goal didn't come until the last minute of stoppage time, when the referee went to VAR to review a clear penalty on Dani Olmo. Raphinha didn't miss, and the desired comeback was completed. Three points that serve, at least, to maintain the current advantage over a Madrid that hosts Athletic Club.
Robert Lewandowski with the Worst News: KO
Despite the result, the negative note of the match between Barça and Celta was set by Lewandowski. The Pole, who once again remained in zero, requested a substitution in the second half. He felt pain and had to go to the ground, asking for a substitution and not completing the match. Flick's team finished the duel without a '9' in the area, failing to complete a comeback that would have been epic.
At this moment, FC Barcelona is waiting to conduct tests on Lewandowski, who could fall at the worst possible time. Everything is at stake right now, and the blaugrana club could unexpectedly be without their top scorer. Hansi Flick had already complained previously: too many matches, little rest. In the end, with this scenario, it's most logical that these misfortunes end up happening...
