Barcelona ended 2018 on a winning note, beating Celta Vigo 2-0 in their final match of the year. Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi got the goals.
Dembele was in the right place at the right time to bag the opener, firing home a rebound. Celta Vigo put on a good fight but Messi's strike to make it 2-0 killed their resolve, and the Catalans cruised to the finish line.
The result ensured the Catalans will end the year as sole leaders in La Liga, three points ahead of their nearest competitors Atletico Madrid. Sevilla can join the Rojiblancos in second place on Sunday.
