Game Summary

From early on, Barça showed their intent: Lewandowski converted a penalty in the 10th minute after a handball. Celta answered immediately through Carreira, keeping the game alive. Barcelona regained control through Lewandowski’s second in the 37th minute. Just before half time, Yamal struck to make it 3-1. However, Celta pulled one back through Borja Iglesias, creating a tense 3-2 interval score.

In the second half Barcelona asserted themselves. Lewandowski completed his hat-trick with a composed finish in the 73rd minute to seal the win. Even with a man down late in the game, Barça held firm to take all three points. The win moves them to 28 points, putting pressure on league pace-setters.

Stand-out Performers

• Robert Lewandowski: After returning from injury, he delivered a flawless attacking display, scoring three times and taking his tally for the season into double figures.
• Lamine Yamal: The young talent again showed his quality, scoring a crucial goal just before the break and continuing his rise in the first team.
• Marcus Rashford: Provided two assists as Barça’s attacking link, showing good understanding with Lewandowski and Yamal.
• On the flip side, Barcelona’s defence remains a concern — they conceded yet another two goals, showing vulnerabilities that Celta exploited.

Tactical Notes

• Barça looked sharp going forward, with Lewandowski central and supported by Yamal and Rashford creating space and opportunities.
• Celta pushed high and got rewards with two well-taken goals, but lacked the consistency to keep pace in the second half.
• The red card for de Jong is a setback for Barcelona — his absence will be felt in their next fixture and represents a challenge for squad rotation.
• From set-pieces and corners, Barcelona again found opportunities — marking a trend under coach Hansi Flick.

What This Means

• For Barcelona: Boosted confidence ahead of the international break. The gap to the top has narrowed and momentum is building. However, the defensive issues must be addressed.
• For Celta Vigo: A spirited performance but ultimately let the game slip. Their home form remains inconsistent and they will need to tighten up if they aim for higher in the table.
• LaLiga implications: With the leaders dropping points earlier, Barcelona’s victory now places them within striking distance. Every point will count in the run-in.

Looking Ahead

• Barcelona must adapt without de Jong in their next game and maintain form after the break.
• Celta will look to regroup and stop conceding early; their next home match offers a chance to regain confidence.
• Key players like Yamal and Lewandowski will likely continue to shape important games — expect them to be central in the coming weeks.
