10-man Barcelona slip to wild 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo

Barcelona was surprised by the 2-2 draw in La Liga against Celta Vigo.

The Catalans looked on course for a winning return to the competition after November's international break.

Raphinha's first-half goal outscored the visitors before half-time and Robert Lewandowski fired in his 15th league goal of 2024/25 after the restart.

Despite Barcelona appearing to be on cruise control in the closing stages, the match turned in the 82nd minute following Marc Casado's red card.

In a chaotic few minutes, Celta saw a goal disallowed for offside before Alfon Gonzalez fired home after a mix-up in Barcelona's defense.

That grenade shocked the away team and Hugo Alvarez took full advantage and scored a daring equalizer.

Beyond the frustration of letting a two-goal lead slip, Barcelona have now given a major boost to Real Madrid's title response, with Los Blancos seven points behind with two games remaining.
