Barcelona staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Celta Vigo 4-3 at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, maintaining their seven-point lead atop La Liga.
The hosts took an early lead through Ferran Torres, but defensive lapses allowed Borja Iglesias to net a rapid hat-trick, putting Celta 3-1 ahead.
You wouldn’t have predicted a comeback from Barcelona but they did it.
Manager Hansi Flick’s substitutions proved pivotal. Dani Olmo, introduced in the second half, scored to reduce the deficit and was later fouled in stoppage time, earning a penalty. Raphinha converted the spot-kick in the 98th minute, completing the turnaround.
This comeback is one of many from Hansi Flick’s men and it shows that anytime you think they’re down, they can turn the game around.
Despite the victory, concern looms over Robert Lewandowski, who exited late in the game with a suspected hamstring injury.
