A LOT OF JOBS AWAITS XAVI: Barcelona dropped three goals advantage, Celta won a heroic draw!

Barcelona has confirmed that the legendary Xavi Hernandez will sit on the bench, but before that finally happens – the Catalans will have to “endure” some more bad results.

In the 13th round of La Liga, Barcelona drew 3: 3 with Celta on the away field. Goals for the guests were scored by Ansu Fati in the fifth minute of the match, Sergio Busquets in the 18th and Memphis Depay in the 34th minute, while Celta were pleased with Aspas in the 52nd and 96th minutes, as well as Nolito in the 74th minute.

First half – for Barcelona like a dream. Already in the fifth minute of the match, Fati scored a goal and gave the Catalans an advantage, and after just over ten minutes – the advantage was doubled.

Busquets used a great assist by Nico and shook the net of Celta, and ten minutes before going on a half-time – a new goal! This time, Depay was precise.

However, in the second part of the game – a lot of things went wrong for Barca. In fact, already at the finish of the first part of the game, because Ansu Fati suffered a new injury.

Fati just collapsed on the field and grabbed the leg, which meant the game was over for him. It is not known how serious the injury is and how long it will take a break, but probably at least a month.

By the way, he only returned to the field in August after a long break due to knee surgery. You probably haven’t seen the unluckier player on the football fields.

Apart from Fati, Eric Garcia did not welcome the second half either, who also felt uneasy and stayed in the locker room.

Let’s get back to the game. After only a few minutes of play in the continuation, Celta reached the goal, the scorer was Aspas, and in the finish, he brought additional drama.

Nolito scored in the 74th minute and that was the second goal for Celta, so Barcelona was afraid until the last minute. And in the end, they gave up, because Aspas scored his second goal and brought his team at least one point. It seems that Xavi will have to hurry to Spain…

Let us remind you, a little earlier, Espanyol beat Granada 2-0 and thus won important points.

Espanyol reached the first goal through Adria Pedrosa, who was precise in the 30th minute, and Raul de Tomas doubled the lead just three minutes before the end of the first half. The result did not change until the end of the match, and Espanyol escaped from the bottom of the table with this victory and is now in the ninth position.

Granada is only 16th with only 11 points won.
