Barcelona delivered a jaw-dropping comeback on Saturday, overturning a 3-1 deficit to beat Celta Vigo 4-3 in a game packed with drama! Raphinha’s 98th-minute penalty sealed the win, extending Barça’s lead over Real Madrid to seven points in La Liga.
Rollercoaster First Half
Ferran Torres fired Barcelona ahead early with a slick solo goal , but Celta’s Borja Iglesias leveled with a tap-in after a goalkeeping blunder. The visitors shocked Camp Nou again in the second half as Iglesias bagged a quick-fire double.
Substitute Superstars
Dani Olmo, subbed on by coach Hansi Flick, sparked the revival with a goal just five minutes after entering the fray. Raphinha’s header leveled it at 3-3, setting up a nail-biting finale.
Last-Minute Drama
Olmo won a stoppage-time penalty after a VAR check, and Raphinha coolly smashed home the winner. The victory piles pressure on Real Madrid, who face Athletic Bilbao next.
"The crowd pushed us until the end," Olmo told DAZN. Barça’s title charge rages on—but can they keep the momentum?
