Barça left Balaídos with two points after leading 0-2 with seven minutes left in the match. The expulsion of Marriage and a serious mistake Koundé was the key to Barça’s first draw flip. The rare streak and great moment of form Raphinha They weren’t good enough to win in Vigo. Celta knew how to take advantage, with enormous pressure, playing in the last minute against ten players. The Galicians (15-9) tried more shots (good game by Iñaki Peña) and they had more shots on goal than FC Barcelona (8-4).
The Blaugrana were unable to close out the game, after taking a one-goal lead from Raphinha in an oversight Mingueza. The insistence of Lewandowski allowed the second goal to get on the scoreboard, but the team was not well in its game. The result was somewhat misleading, with a very dangerous Celta and a Barça with too many turnovers, unable to establish order and effectively manage the pressure. Iñaki Peña saved the team in some situations, but the score kept the victory going to the ground after the expulsion of Marriage and the error of Koundéwho already had a lapse in concentration due to miscontrol in the first half.
after the game, flip and Koundé They are very clear in their explanations. The coach commented that the team did not play well and the French defender admitted the mistake, blaming himself for the draw. We should not emphasize one player and value self-criticism, but Barça must return to maximum concentration throughout the game, from the first minute to the last, recovering the verticality and physical tone that allows effective pressure. The draw at Balaídos felt like a defeat for Barcelona fans and a victory for Celta fans. Barça lost two points and the Galicians gained one. In the international view of the match, the Blaugrana have not been able to put on the field, at all times, the main points of intensity, concentration, pressure and physicality that have characterized Barça until now. Celta did not give up and took advantage of two blows (the sending off and the mistake) to tie a match they lost.
