Celta Vigo vs. Barcelona: Score and Reaction from 2016 La Liga Match

Celta Vigo beat Barcelona at the Estadio Municipal de Balaidos for the second year in a row on Sunday, grabbing a 4-3 win over the Catalan giants in La Liga.

Pione Sisto and Iago Aspas gave the Galicians a two-goal lead, and Jeremy Mathieu's own goal ensured they entered half-time with the wind in their sails.

Gerard Pique pulled one back for the Catalans shortly after half-time, and a Neymar penalty kick with almost half an hour left to play set up a tense finale. Pablo Hernandez took advantage of a second Marc-Andre ter Stegen blunder, however, and while Pique pulled his team back to within one, it was too little, too late.
