The beginning of the second half of Barcelona vs Celta Vigo’s match has been a bit quite, but the Greek striker Anastassios Douvikas managed to score the second goal for his team in the 76’ minute, nevertheless, Barcelona showed signs of life as Lewandoski finally put the first score for the Blaugrana team with an assist by Joao Felix.

Barcelona seemed that they couldn’t find the way to jeopardize Celta Vigo’s goal, but with an opening drive led by the young Portuguese striker, Joao Felix, who put a balloon for Robert Lewandowski in the 81’ minute to close the gap. But that wasn’t enough for Barcelona as the Polish striker scored a second goal with an assist by Joao Cancelo.

Xavi’s team can’t be given as death, because they can turn you around the table, just like they did to Celta Vigo, who thought they have already beaten Barcelona, but within just 10 minutes, the Culé team was able to make a tremendous comeback with a third goal made by Joao Cancelo in the 89’ minute.

Celta Vigo’s biggest mistake was to think they had the match in the pocket, when Douvikas scored the second goal, Aspas, one of Vigo’s most important players, was substituted. Xavi Hernandez took advantage of this change and instantly capitalized it. Rafael Benitez, Vigo’s manager, couldn't believe Barca’s 10 minute drive comeback.

What’s next for Barcelona?  

Celta Vigo put Barcelona’s undefeated record at risk in the first half as they were winning 2-0, but Xavi’s team managed to make an epic 10 minute comeback and remain unbeatable and they are now in the second place of La Liga’s standings and have displace Real Madrid to the third place, and will look forward to trail Girona for the leadership.

Barcelona will have an easy schedule ahead after today’s win over Celta Vigo and will probably still remain with their winning streak as they will face Mallorca (who loss 5-2 vs Girona) on Tuesday 26th; Sevilla (who tied 0-0 vs Osasuna today) on Friday 29th;  and Granada who is in the 18th position of the standings on October 8th.
