Vigo, Spain – Robert Lewandowski’s hat-trick propelled Barcelona to a thrilling 4-2 victory over Celta Vigo at Balaídos stadium on Saturday night. The win allows Barcelona to capitalize on Real Madrid’s slip-up and head into the international break on a high note.
The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, starting with a late change to Barcelona’s lineup due to Casadó’s absence, replaced by Dani Olmo. Lewandowski opened the scoring early with a penalty after a VAR review deemed Marcos Alonso guilty of handball. Celta responded quickly with a stunning goal from Carreira, leveling the score.
Lewandowski restored Barcelona’s lead before halftime, only for Borja Iglesias to equalize again for Celta. In a dramatic end to the first half, Lamine Yamal scored a late goal, giving Barcelona a narrow lead going into the break.
The second half saw Barcelona control the tempo, with Frenkie de Jong putting on a masterful display in midfield despite his late red card for a second yellow. Lewandowski completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute, heading home from a Marcus Rashford corner.
While Lamine Yamal almost added a fifth, the game finished 4-2, securing a crucial win for Barcelona and providing a much-needed boost to their La Liga campaign. The victory marks a significant step forward for Hansi Flick’s side as they look to regain their form and challenge for the title.
