Barcelona welcomed Celta Vigo at the Nou Camp earlier tonight as they looked to earn a good result at home. The Catalan club made a bright start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 17th minute when Pedri scored from close range. Barca sat on their lead well and went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Both teams canceled each other out in the second 45 minutes as the contest ended 1-0 in favour of Xavi’s men.
