The Blaugrana side lost another opportunity to put pressure on Real Madrid after allowing themselves to go back twice
FC Barcelona has again missed a great opportunity to try to put pressure on Real Madrid in the fight for the League, and tied against Celta de Vigo, after going ahead twice in Balaídos (2-2).
Barça started the match dominating and generating chances. The clearest was that of Piqué, on the crossbar, after a corner kicked by Messi. Just a few minutes later, the Argentine would return to being the protagonist, giving a goal pass to Suárez, who put the 0-1 and scored again after almost half a year without doing so.
After the restart, Celta put the batteries and managed to tie the game. A serious defensive error allowed Smolov to score as a delight, against Umtiti’s defensive passivity, signaled after the match. Just a few minutes later, when it seemed that the culé box was on the ropes, Luis Suárez reappeared.
The Uruguayan took advantage of a pressure from Semedo on Denis, to channel an assist from Messi and put the 1-2 on the Balaídos scoreboard against Celta’s disappointment. Nolito had a great opportunity to tie the game, but Ter Stegen, in a new show of quality, managed to stop the shot, something he could not do on Celta’s goal of the draw.
Iago Aspas got the equalizer in a free kick against a placement failure on the part of the Blaugrana goalkeeper, restoring equality, this time definitively, complicating life for Barça in the League.
