Barcelona faced off against Celta Vigo at the Estadio Municipal de Balaídos earlier this evening as they focused on securing a good result away from home in La Liga. Xavi’s men made a good start to the game and managed to score the opening goal in the 45th minute when Robert Lewandowski found the back of the net.
