Barcelona extended their unbeaten run to start to the season, but they dropped two points against a spirited Celta Vigo side that did their best to frustrate Barcelona. But the ultimate frustration came from Barcelona players themselves who missed numerous chances from excellent scoring positions. Celta Vigo took the lead through Iago Aspas, but Barcelona came back through goals from Lionel Messi and Luis Saurez, only to see Maxi Gomez equalize midway through the second half.
In the very first minute of the game Luis Suarez got tangled up with former La Masia graduate Sergi Gomez, resulting in a yellow card for Suarez and a shoulder/collarbone injury for Gomez.
