Three talking points from Barcelona 4-3 Celta Vigo

The early Saturday kickoff in La Liga gave Barcelona the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the table to seven points for 24 hours at least, though this time slot — the weekend after a Champions League fixture — has invariably proved to be a problem for the Blaugranes before now.

And so it proved again until Raphinha’s late, late intervention.

Hansi Flick isn’t likely to have been too happy with a lacklustre and lethargic opening 45 from the hosts in a half which saw Celta Vigo quickly equalise Ferran Torres’ opener.
