In a thrilling La Liga showdown at Balaídos Stadium on Sunday, FC Barcelona produced a sensational comeback to defeat Celta Vigo 4–2. Trailing 2–1 at halftime, the Catalan giants roared back in the second half thanks to a Robert Lewandowski hat-trick and a crucial equalizer from Lamine Yamal.

The victory lifts Barcelona to 25 points, keeping them just three points behind leaders Real Madrid in the La Liga standings—tightening an already fierce title race.

First Half Drama: Celta Vigo Strikes Early

The match opened with high intensity as Celta Vigo stunned Barcelona with two quick goals, capitalizing on defensive errors.

Despite the early setback, Lewandowski halved the deficit before halftime with a composed finish, bringing hope back to the visiting side. The 2–1 scoreline at the break reflected Barcelona’s defensive fragility but also hinted at their attacking potential.

Second Half Comeback: Yamal and Lewandowski Take Charge

After halftime, Barcelona returned with renewed determination. Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old prodigy, equalized early in the second half with a confident strike—his 11th goal contribution of the season.

The assist came from Marcus Rashford, whose sharp playmaking and two key passes unlocked Celta’s defense time and again.

From there, Lewandowski stole the spotlight. The Polish striker completed his hat-trick with two more expertly taken goals, sealing the comeback and showcasing his trademark composure in front of goal.

“This was vintage Lewandowski — clinical, composed, and relentless,” said one Spanish pundit on post-match coverage.

Late Red Card Adds Drama, But Barcelona Holds On

The match wasn’t short of tension. Frenkie de Jong was shown a late red card, forcing Barcelona to defend with ten men for the final minutes.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Xavi’s men held firm, demonstrating impressive discipline and composure under pressure to secure a vital win on the road.
