Barcelona's Dramatic Draw with Celta Vigo Adds Twist to La Liga Title Race
Barcelona faced a surprising setback in La Liga, with a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo at the Estadio Abanca Balaídos on November 23, 2024. Despite taking a two-goal lead, the Catalan giants relinquished their advantage late in the match, dropping crucial points in the title race.
The match began with Celta applying pressure, creating early chances but failing to convert them. Barcelona capitalised on a defensive error, with Raphinha scoring the opener in the 15th minute. He dribbled past Oscar Mingueza and slotted the ball into the net. The visitors showcased better control after their initial goal but struggled to extend their lead, despite a few attempts.
Barcelona doubled their lead in the second half through Robert Lewandowski, who scored in the 61st minute after combining with Raphinha. However, the tide turned dramatically when Marc Casadó received a second yellow card for a foul, leaving Barcelona with ten men.
Celta Vigo seized the moment, scoring twice within two minutes. Alfon González capitalised on a mistake from Jules Kounde to pull one back in the 84th minute, and just two minutes later, Hugo Álvarez completed the comeback with a well-placed shot.
With this draw, Barcelona maintained their position at the top of La Liga but faced increasing pressure from rivals Real Madrid, who now have two games in hand. The performance raised concerns, particularly in the absence of key player Lamine Yamal, and Barcelona will seek a strong response in their upcoming Champions League fixture against Brest.
