The Catalan side converted a penalty in the extra time for the victory.

Barcelona defeated Celta Vigo 4-3 despite losing 3-1 after 62 minutes, but after that, the Catalan team scored 3 times, as the winning goal came in the extra time from a penalty, as Raphinha scored it.

After only 12 minutes, the home side took the lead when Ferran Torres, after phenomenal individual work, scored with a shot from the edge of the box into the bottom left corner.

However, 3 minutes later, Wojciech Szczesny made a fatal mistake as he provided the ball to Borja Iglesias, who tied the result 1-1.

At the end of the 1st half, both teams had one great chance each, but neither was able to convert it.

Borja Iglesias was the hero at the beginning of the 2nd half when he scored to secure the 1st lead in the match for the visitors in the 52nd minute. Only 10 minutes later, Borja Iglesias secured his hattrick as he made a great solo run and pulled the trigger from inside the box, and with his 3rd goal in the game gave 2-goal lead of Celta.

That was not all, as only a few minutes later, the result was tied again. Raphinha with a great assist to Dani Olmo in the 64th minute resulted in 2-3, and the result became 3-3 in the 68th minute when Lamine Yamal with a phenomenal cross to Raphinha resulted in the result to be even again.

In the 8th minute of the extra time, Raphinha scored a penalty and secured the 3 points for his team as they lead 7 points at the top of LaLiga to Real Madrid, as Los Blancos have a game in hand.
