Barcelona produce wild comeback vs. Celta Vigo to keep distance over Real Madrid in La Liga title chase

Barca were down 3-1 in the second half but came back to win

When trying to win a treble, it's important for a team to be able to pick up points when they aren't at their best, and that's just what Barcelona did in a 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday. Goals from Raphinha and Dani Olmo helped turn around what was a 3-1 deficit in the 62nd minute of play for Hansi Flick's men to secure all three points.

It has been an emotional week for Barcelona after booking their place in the Champions League semifinals after getting past Borussia Dortmund, but the matches won't stop anytime soon. During the week, Flick called out schedule congestion, saying, "Every league protects their clubs when they play in the Champions League. We have no time to rest." Just during April, Barcelona will have three games remaining with a league match versus Mallorca, the Copa Del Rey final versus Real Madrid, and the first leg of the Champions League semifinal, where they'll face Inter beginning at the end of the month (you can watch Barca vs. Inter on Paramount+).

These aren't games where Barcelona will be able to rotate much with trophies and matches with high stakes upcoming, and even this clash showed why. Flick tried to rest players like Lamine Yamal and Gavi, which led to Barcelona allowing a hat trick to Borja Iglesias, giving them quite a deficit to work out of.
