Barcelona Drops Points in 2-2 Draw Against Celta Vigo

2024-11-24

In a dramatic clash at the Estadio Abanca Balaídos, Barcelona surrendered a two-goal lead, ultimately drawing 2-2 with Celta Vigo on November 23, 2024. The result marked a disappointing return for Barça after the international break, as they were unable to capitalize on their early advantage, dropping crucial points in the La Liga title race.

The match began with Celta Vigo pressing hard, but it was Barcelona who struck first in the 15th minute. Raphinha found the net, taking advantage of a defensive error from Óscar Mingueza. Barça appeared to gain momentum, dominating possession and creating chances, though they failed to extend their lead before halftime.

In the second half, Barcelona doubled their advantage in the 61st minute through Robert Lewandowski, following another swift counterattack. However, the game shifted when Marc Casadó received a second yellow card in the 82nd minute, leaving Barça with ten men. Celta Vigo seized this opportunity and began their comeback, scoring two goals within two minutes. Alfon González pulled one back in the 84th minute, capitalizing on a defensive blunder by Jules Koundé. Just two minutes later, Hugo Álvarez netted the equalizer with a well-placed shot.

Both teams had chances to snatch the victory in the closing moments, but the score remained tied, leaving each side to settle for a point. While Celta Vigo showcased their resilience, Barcelona’s performance raised concerns as they struggled without star player Lamine Yamal.

As a result, Barcelona retains a precarious lead at the top of the La Liga table, now just four points ahead of Real Madrid, who have two games in hand. The Catalans will need a strong performance in their upcoming Champions League match against Brest to regain their momentum and reassure fans following back-to-back lackluster outings.
