In a thrilling encounter at the Camp Nou, Barcelona clawed their way back from an early deficit to secure a dramatic victory over Celta Vigo.

The veteran striker, Robert Lewandowski, proved to be the catalyst for Barcelona’s resurgence, netting twice within a remarkable five-minute span. However, it was Joao Cancelo who emerged as the hero, sealing the win with a decisive strike in the 89th minute.

The clash began with Celta Vigo adopting their signature defensive approach, in stark contrast to Barcelona’s recent opponents, Real Betis and Royal Antwerp, who had fallen victim to the Blaugrana’s attacking prowess.

Barcelona had scored an impressive ten goals in their previous two matches, prompting coach Xavi to label it as the best they had played under his leadership. However, this encounter unfolded as a stark departure from that scintillating form.

The opening stages of the match saw Barcelona in control of possession but struggling to create clear-cut scoring opportunities. Against the run of play, Celta Vigo managed to break the deadlock in the 19th minute.

Andreas Christensen’s failure to hold the defensive line allowed Strand Larsen to capitalize on a corner clearance and clinically finish past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Joao Felix had an opportunity to respond for Barcelona but couldn’t control Frenkie de Jong’s scooped pass. To make matters worse, de Jong himself sustained an injury and was replaced by the tenacious teenager Gavi.

Celta Vigo had a golden chance to double their lead, but Ter Stegen denied Strand Larsen’s header, and Lucas de la Torre squandered the rebound with the goal at his mercy.

At halftime, Xavi made tactical adjustments, introducing Ronald Araujo, who was making his return from a hamstring injury, and 16-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal.

Araujo immediately tested Ivan Villar with a powerful long-range effort, while Ferran Torres missed a clear opportunity, firing wide as he bore down on goal.

Ter Stegen continued to thwart Celta Vigo’s attempts, making another outstanding save to deny Jonathan Bamba as the visitors searched for a second goal.

However, Barcelona’s fortunes changed when Lewandowski ignited a spark within the team. The Polish striker executed a sublime chip over Villar, with the ball cannoning off the crossbar and into the net, leveling the score. Just four minutes later, Lewandowski struck again, courtesy of Cancelo’s well-timed pass.

Cancelo, on loan from Manchester City, had already made a significant impact since his arrival on the final day of the summer transfer window. His penchant for driving forward in search of attacking opportunities paid dividends when he clinically dispatched Gavi’s cross, securing a crucial victory for Barcelona.

In a match that saw Barcelona oscillate from early struggles to late heroics, it was Lewandowski and Cancelo who ultimately stole the spotlight.

Xavi’s side may not have displayed the same attacking brilliance as in previous matches, but their ability to turn the game around showcased their resilience and determination, qualities that bode well for their aspirations this season.

As the final whistle blew, the Camp Nou faithful celebrated a hard-fought triumph, with hopes of more thrilling encounters to come in the weeks ahead.
