According to reports, the dramatic comeback of Hansi Flick’s team in the 33rd week of La Liga resulted in a 4-3 victory for Barcelona over Celta Vigo, overshadowing Borja Iglesias’ hat-trick against Wojciech Szczęsny on a brilliant night for Barça’s attack. Celta Vigo left Montjuïc empty-handed.

Celta Vigo’s manager expressed dissatisfaction with the referee’s decisions, stating that before the penalty awarded to Barcelona in the 90+8th minute, the referee could have consulted VAR for other questionable incidents.

Giráldez commented on the match: “I think it was a very entertaining game for the spectators. This is the second time this season we’ve lost 4-3 at home. It’s hard to accept scoring three goals away and still not winning. Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the best teams in the world right now, and yet we were very close to victory.”

After taking a 1-3 lead, we managed the ball poorly, made mistakes, and gave opportunities to a team under heavy pressure. Neither our high press nor our low press worked well, and we found ourselves in a completely indefensible position, conceding two quick goals. Later, we missed chances in counterattacks and couldn’t make it 3-4.

On the referee and the last-minute penalty for Barcelona:
Perhaps VAR could have intervened in other situations, but they chose to act in the 98th minute. Those who know more about refereeing than I do think so. I have doubts about some incidents, but that’s personal, and everyone can interpret the game as they see fit.

Positives for Celta Vigo:
In terms of possession and ball control, Barcelona was better. In terms of shots, chances, and moments of the game, considering the difference in the standings, it’s unfair to lose like this. We scored three goals, had opportunities for two or three more, and defended very well in many moments.

Racist chants by Barcelona fans against Ilaix Moriba:
I take this opportunity to condemn the chants heard in the stadium. I heard them myself and regret them deeply.
