    Iago Aspas

    UNBELIEVABLE!

    Iago Aspas has rescued a point at the death for Celta Vigo.

    What. A. Comeback.

    It's a wonderful finish too. Javi Galan tees Aspas up on the edge of the box and Spaniard curls a left-footed first-time finish into the bottom corner. Superb.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    Celta Vigo are on the attack. Everyone but home goalkeeper Matias Dituro is currently in the Barcelona half. Can the visitors hold on? They've got about one minute to go.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    Barcelona are living dangerously here. Javi Galan is the latest Celta player to be presented with a chance, but he gets the finish horribly wrong at the back post.

    Five minutes of added-time to come.

    A HUGE CHANCE. Nestor Araujo has the opportunity to level things for Celta Vigo as he charges towards goal but blasts wide.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 86 mins

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    So close! Frenkie De Jong rattles the crossbar with a fine strike from the edge of the penalty area. Celta Vigo are still alive in this contest.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    Iago Aspas is proving a real nuisance in this second half. Can he create one more chance? Barcelona are beginning to look a little nervous at the back.

    Abdessamad Ezzalzouli has replaced Gavi for Barca.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    The closing stages of this are being played like a cup-tie. It's end to end with both sides keen for another goal for very different reasons. Into the final 10 minutes we go.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    Now Barcleona are keen to add a fourth, but Riqui Puig's curling effort from the edge of the box is comfortably caught by Matias Dituro.

    Celta Vigo 2-3 Barcelona

    Barcelona were in complete control at half-time. Now they face a very awkward final 15 minutes.

    Nolito

    Oh hello!

    Celta Vigo are right back in this now!

    Substitute Franco Cervi delivers a sublime cross from the left which Nolito meets in the centre to head beyond the reach of the diving Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

  14. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 69 mins

    Celta Vigo 1-3 Barcelona

    Goal?! No!

    Nolito fires in for Celta Vigo but the referee blows for handball. He's awaiting confirmation... Yep the ball definitely strikes Nolito's arm before he sticks it in the net. Celta are getting closer.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 66 mins

    Celta Vigo 1-3 Barcelona

    Celta Vigo bring on Franco Cervi for Renato Tapia for their third change.

    Celta Vigo 1-3 Barcelona

    Celta Vigo manager Eduardo Coudet isn't letting the referee forget about that decision though and earns himself a yellow card for his protests from the technical area.

    Celta Vigo 1-3 Barcelona

    Can Celta Vigo grab another goal and make this really interesting?

    The hosts are calling for a penalty as Thiago Galhardo goes down in the box, but the referee dismisses the claims.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 59 mins

    Celta Vigo 1-3 Barcelona

    Riqui Puig is introduced by Sergi Barjuan with just over half an hour remaining. Nico Gonzalez makes way.

  19. Postpublished at 56 mins

    Celta Vigo 1-3 Barcelona

    The talented Nico Gonzalez threatens for Barcelona as they look to restore their three-goal advantage, but it's good defending from Celta Vigo in the end as Gonzalez is muscled off the ball.
