Liga: Barcelona overturns Celta and edges closer to the title

Trailing 3-1 in the 60th minute, Barcelona found the resources to prevail against Celta Vigo (4-3). A victory snatched in the final seconds that keeps their title dreams alive.

Everything started badly though. Borja Iglesias punished the Catalan defense three times. Taking advantage of the defensive lapses and individual errors, he achieved a historic hat-trick. A rare feat: only Benzema, Mbappé, Shevchenko, Forlan, or Guirassy had managed such an exploit against Barça in recent decades.

But Flick's men did not give up. Dani Olmo, coming off the bench, reignited hope (2-3), before Raphinha equalized from a Yamal cross. Then, in the 97th minute, the Brazilian sealed the victory with a penalty after a foul on Dani Olmo. A breathtaking victory that counts in the title race. And with this mentality, they'll be contenders till the end.
