Barcelona 2-2 Celta Vigo, 2017 La Liga: Match Review 

Barcelona stretched out their unbeaten hurried to begin to the season, yet they dropped two focuses against a lively Celta Vigo side that did their best to disappoint Barcelona. Be that as it may, a definitive disappointment originated from Barcelona players themselves who missed various shots from incredible scoring positions. Celta Vigo led the pack through Iago Aspas, however Barcelona returned through objectives from Lionel Messi and Luis Saurez, just to see Maxi Gomez level halfway during that time half. 

In the main moment of the diversion Luis Suarez got tangled up with previous La Masia graduate Sergi Gomez, bringing about a yellow card for Suarez and a shoulder/collarbone damage for Gomez. Gomez was immediately supplanted by Gustavo Cabral. The two sides hoped to assault ahead of schedule, with Celta undermining from a cross from a free kick, while Barcelona hoped to break on the counter from that same Celta free kick, however after a long run Lionel Messi couldn't discover the objective. 

Notwithstanding some current disproportionate outcomes between the two sides, Celta have dependably been a troublesome adversary for Barcelona, and the beginning times of the diversion demonstrated that that would be the situation by and by. Barcelona, while seeing a greater amount of the ball than Celta, couldn't state their play. Celta were hoping to get Barcelona high up the pitch and they were dependably watchful to begin a snappy break. The host made a decent showing with regards to however in ceasing those counters previously Marc-Andre ter Stegen would get called without hesitation. 

Until the point that the twentieth moment that is when Celta influenced Barcelona to pay for a cautious breakdown. Aspas was played through down the conservative and had Gomez in help with not a single Barcelona protector to be seen. Going alone on ter Stegen, Aspas passed the ball crosswise over to Gomez who let go first time, however ter Stegen made a dazzling recovery. The bounce back, be that as it may, fell back to Aspas who could opening the ball into the vacant net. 

In any case, Barcelona answered in a split second. Aspas' objective appeared to wake up Barcelona and the Catalans all of a sudden resembled an alternate group. From the resulting kickoff the hosts went on a long assault that highlighted some decent, fresh passing that achieved peak when Paulinho was hunting down Luis Suarez however rather discovered Messi behind Suarez, who couldn't control the ball. Messi was quiet and gathered and sent the shot through the legs of Ruben Blanco to rapidly tie the diversion. 

Barcelona appeared to lead the pack only three minutes after the fact through Suarez after a perfect go from Messi, yet the linesman raised his banner for offside. Be that as it may, replays demonstrated that Jozabed, who stood high schooler feet from the linesman, was plainly nearer to Blanco than Suarez. Suarez would have two more possibility only five minutes after the fact, notwithstanding, he couldn't get the shot off on the first while his second was blocked. Yet, Barcelona, Messi to be correct, would get a possibility off the bounce back from the blocked shot, however from an extreme point all Messi could do was hit the post. 

Barcelona kept on assaulting, totally closing down Celta simultaneously. In the 36th moment Paulinho had a brilliant chance to place Barcelona ahead of the pack after an inch culminate cross from Ivan Rakitić. Paulinho headed on objective, however the shot went excessively near the guardian and Blanco could make the spare. Barcelona would score in the 39th moment with Messi beating Blanco with a nervy heave, yet again from an offside position, in any case, this time the call was right. 

At the finish of the half Celta would debilitate a few times on the counter assault, yet the guests couldn't inconvenience ter Stegen. Barcelona likewise propelled a promising assault in the diminishing snapshots of the half, however the two sides went into the break tied at one. 

Barcelona looked to rapidly lead the pack after the restart, and only two minutes in Paulinho had another awesome opportunity to put his collaborate, however his point frustrated him by and by. Paulinho was set up by Messi and after a couple decent touches to move beyond two safeguards and advance around the goalkeeper, the Brazilian made a wreck of the wrap up, the ball wide of the void net. 

Not at all like in many matches, Ernesto Valverde rushed to swing to his seat in this one. Denis Suarez supplanted Andres Iniesta in the 53rd moment. 

Neither one of the sides make significantly finished the following couple of minutes, however at that point, in the 62nd moment, Messi struck once more, however for his commitments he won't get credited neither an objective nor help, yet it was his leave that cut behind Celta's safeguard. Messi played Alba through after Pione Sisto nodded off in safeguard, playing Alba onside. Alba one-touched a go to Suarez in the center who tapped the ball in to deservedly place Barcelona ahead of the pack. 

Only two minutes after the fact the lead could've been twofold, yet Blanco influenced a splendid jumping to spare. Barcelona were assaulting down the correct side and the cross was drifted in from close to the objective line by Denis. There, in the risk zone, Messi rose the most noteworthy and controlled a header on objective, however he was denied by the youthful Spaniard in objective. 

Barcelona got a twofold blow in the 70th moment. Celta went on a fast counter, with Samuel Umtiti hoping to shield Aspas. Be that as it may, in the wake of picking up position on Aspas, Umtiti pulled up, holding his correct hamstring. Aspas kept on assaulting and discovered Gomez in the center for the simple objective to balance at two. Minutes after the fact Thomas Vermaelen supplanted Umtiti.

The Catalans needed to backpedal in all out attack mode. Celta were defenseless, however Barcelona were a long way from clinical before the net. In the 72nd moment, Paulinho missed another open door, however apparently the hardest one, yet the shot still originated from a decent spot, yet went over the crossbar. After three minutes, Barcelona missed another sitter. Messi sprung Pique after a stunning combo after a profound free kick. One-on-one with Blanco, Pique skipped past the goalkeeper, however like Paulinho prior in the half, he excessively missed the completely open net. 

In an exertion not to draw successive La Liga diversions and go two amusements in succession without a win without precedent for La Liga this season, Valverde expedited Paco Alcacer for Rakitić. Time was running out for Barcelona be that as it may, and the guests were doing their absolute best to take as much time as necessary at whatever point conceivable. 

Barcelona propelled an exceptionally encouraging assault in the 85th moment, with Suarez making a possibility for Denis. Denis' shot was blocked, yet it transformed into a help for Messi, yet even the Argentine missed the net from very close. Celta at that point immediately propelled a counter, after a Denis turnover profound, however ter Stegen made a phenomenal save money on Sisto. 

Five minutes were included, yet a large portion of it was invested by Celta squandering energy. The guests got a couple yellow cards for time-squandering in the late phases of the diversion, yet that was a little cost to pay for the guests for the point they stole from the Camp Nou. Barcelona had a decent possibility in the 93rd moment, with Alcacer getting on the less than desirable end of a cross, yet his header cruised high finished the bar. Another possibility came in the last seconds of the diversion, however Messi's free kick hit the stopping point and Barcelona dropped two more focuses. 

Dissimilar to the earlier end of the week, when Barcelona were victimized by the officials, they can just point the finger at themselves today – regardless of whether an objective was reclaimed for an offside that wasn't. Barcelona had chance upon opportunity to score the third objective and secure the three focuses, however in a steady progression, Barcelona players were missing totally open nets. Verifiably, Barcelona have dependably battled in early kickoffs, yet they didn't really battle today. They just couldn't score when it made a difference the most.
