Remontada’ – The Viral Word on Football Social Media as Barcelona Stuns Celta Vigo
Barcelona pulled off a stunning comeback today, turning a 1-3 deficit into a dramatic 4-3 win against Celta Vigo. The victory further extended their lead at the top of the La Liga table to seven points ahead of Real Madrid, with a game in hand this Sunday.
The match began with an early strike from Ferran Torres in the 12th minute. However, Celta Vigo quickly equalized through Borja Iglesias in the 15th minute. Iglesias went on to complete a brilliant hat-trick, scoring again in the 52nd and 62nd minutes.
Just moments after Iglesias’ third goal, Dani Olmo—making his return from injury—scored in the 65th minute to begin the comeback. Raphinha then leveled the game just three minutes later with a well-taken goal. Ultimately, it was Raphinha’s calm penalty in the 97th minute that secured all three points for Barcelona.
Barcelona’s comeback showed incredible resilience and a refusal to give up—traits that have been key to their dominance in La Liga this season. Under new coach Hansi Flick, the team has adopted a more attacking mindset, as seen in their El Clásico victories.
