Celta Vigo vs Barcelona, La Liga: TV & Streaming, Live Thread – Barca Blaugranes
47’ GOAL, Celta 1-1 Barcelona (Aspas): Celta equalize. The hosts easily move the ball from back to front through the Barça defense and Iago Aspas has his shot deflected off Jules Kounde and into the net.
SECOND HALF KICKOFF! Celta 0-1 Barcelona: Back underway at Balaídos!
HALFTIME, Celta 0-1 Barcelona: Barça had all of the ball and did very little with it until Lewandowski broke the deadlock with a special goal. Celta threatened a few times on the counter and will increase the pressure in the second half, so this one is far from over even though Barça have an important lead at the break.
45’ GOAL!!! Celta 0-1 Barcelona (Lewandowski): BARÇA TAKE THE LEAD!!! A massive goal just before halftime as Lamine Yamal finds Robert Lewandowski at the edge of the box and the Pole fires a sensational strike into the far corner!
KICKOFF! Celta 0-0 Barcelona: And we’re underway at Balaídos!
WELCOME TO THE ESTADIO DE BALAÍDOS!!! The beautiful, newly-renovated historic home of Celta Vigo in the Galicia region is the site of a huge La Liga clash between the hosts and Barcelona, who come into this one needing to rebound from a painful result against Granada last week and looking for a confidence boost before a monster Champions League game. But it won’t be easy against a Celta side needing a big result themselves in their fight against relegation that always knows how to cause Barça problems at Balaídos. This should be fun, and you’re welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action. Vamos!

Matchday Thread Rules
