In the 32nd round of the Spanish La Liga, Barcelona visited Vigo Celta and lost two points due to a 2: 2 draw. Iago Aspas made Barca lose the gold points with his excellent goal in the 88th minute.
Although Messi and his company were winning twice, thanks to Louis Suarez twice, Celta were able to equalize twice. First, Russian Smolov scored, and in the 88th minute, former Liverpool player Iago Aspas cleverly executed a free-kick and scored against Ter Stegen. In the last seconds, if not for the German goalkeeper, Nolito would have scored the winning goal.
Iago Aspas (Celta): “We analyzed at the break how Barça defended themselves during penalties. They left space, and we used it.”
Barcelona scored 69 points, Real (68 points) has an excellent chance to overtake the Catalan team by points if they win on Sunday.
Leo Messi has two assists – a fantastically executed penalty when he scored a goal for Luis Suarez instead of a shot. However, Leo still failed to score the 700th-anniversary goal in his career.
