Barca stun Celta Vigo with late dramatic win

La Liga leaders Barcelona staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Celta Vigo 4-3, with Raphinha scoring a penalty in the eighth minute of injury time.

The Brazil forward’s decisive spot-kick came after a VAR review ruled that Dani Olmo was fouled inside the area.

Earlier, Barcelona had trailed 3-1 courtesy of Borja Iglesias’ hat-trick, which canceled out Ferran Torres’ early goal.

However, Barcelona regrouped and scored twice in four minutes through Olmo and Raphinha to level the game.

Despite Celta’s efforts to hold on for a point, Barcelona’s pressure ultimately paid off when Olmo was tripped, leading to the winning penalty.

The win extends Barcelona’s lead over second-placed Real Madrid to seven points, setting the stage for a crucial match for Los Blancos against Athletic Club on Sunday.
