In a thrilling match, Barcelona staged an impressive 4-3 comeback victory over Celta Vigo, showcasing their resilience and determination under coach Hansi Flick. Despite trailing 3-1 after a hat-trick from Celta's Borja Iglesias, they rallied back with goals from Dani Olmo and a brace from Raphinha, including a last-minute penalty. This victory extends Barcelona's lead at the top of LaLiga to seven points ahead of Real Madrid. Flick praised the team's mentality and commended Raphinha's revival after a challenging first half, while expressing concern over Lewandowski's injury.
"When we win, we like these kinds of games. We've played against a very good team, they've had good results in the last 10 games, as I said yesterday in the press conference. Their coach is doing a fantastic job," Flick said.
"I think the goals we conceded have nothing to do with our pressing. We usually press very well, but today we made mistakes. We made it very easy for the opponent."
"But the team did everything, we didn't give up. That's the mentality we have right now. It's great."
"I hugged Raphinha because things weren't going his way in the first half. I told him to think positively and in the second, it showed."
