Raphinha gives three gold points

When everything seemed to a tie, FC Barcelona took the claw at home and won Celta de Vigo 4-3 in a real game, full of emotions, goals and drama.

Raphinha was the hero of the night when scoring, in the last sigh, the penalty that sentenced the comeback and kept the Catalans on the top of LaLiga with 73 points, expanding its advantage over Real Madrid.

The meeting began with frantic rhythm. Ferran Torres opened the scoring for the Catalans at minute 12, but Celta’s response was immediate. Borja Iglesias tied for 15 and then took over the game with a second goal at 52 and a third to 62, signing a memorable hat-trick that silenced the Montjuïc Olympic stadium at times.

The Barsa, forced to react, made adjustments and found key revulsions in Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo. It was Olmo who discounted at 64 and then Raphinha tied with a great header after a precise assistance from Yamal at 68. The game was for anyone, but Barsa did not want to settle.

In the final minutes, with the entire team overturned to the attack, Barcelona found a play in the area after an alleged foul on Dani Olmo. The referee did not hesitate and was called by the VAR. After the review, the foul was confirmed and the stadium contained the breath.

Raphinha took the ball and coldly defined from 11 meters for the final 4-3 at minute 90+7, unleashing madness among Barca fans. The Brazilian became the great figure of the night with a double that is worth gold in the final stretch of the tournament.

With this agonizing victory, Barcelona remains firm at the top of 73 points, and puts pressure on Real Madrid that has 66 units and must still play its game of the day. The fight for LaLiga is still alive, but the culs showed that they are not willing to release the leadership easily.
