Barcelona pulled off a stunning comeback to defeat Celta Vigo 4-3 in a dramatic La Liga clash on Saturday, thanks to a standout performance from Raphinha. The Catalan side found themselves trailing 1-3 with just under 30 minutes remaining, but a spirited surge turned the match on its head.
Raphinha was instrumental throughout, capping the night with a decisive penalty deep into stoppage time. The spot kick was awarded following a VAR review after Dani Olmo was brought down in the box. Calm under pressure, Raphinha converted from the spot to seal the comeback.
The victory extends Barcelona’s lead at the top of the table, putting them seven points clear of Real Madrid, who are set to face Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. As the final whistle blew, Barça coach Hansi Flick charged onto the pitch to celebrate with Raphinha, highlighting the emotional high of the hard-fought win.
