FC Barcelona rescued an agonizing victory in Balaídos thanks to a penalty converted by Robert Lewandowski in stoppage time. The Pole saved a rather gray night for Xavi Hernández with a double that was worth three vital points

In spite of completing a very toneless party, the FC Barcelona could rescue a victory by the minimum in his visit to the Celtic (1-2). The ones of Xavi Hernández attained to advance just before the rest with a golazo of Robert Lewandowski, but the venues equalised quickly the actions after the halftime. The duel painted to a very grey tie until Lamine Yamal caused a penalti in the discount. 'Lewy', with suspense, converted after two opportunities to give to the ones of Xavi Hernández three points that allow him be still in career by LaLiga. Like this we saw to the group culé the Saturday in Balaídos.

Ter Stegen: Unimportant

The German was a viewer of luxury in the first part, taking part only in a pair of finish by low of Larsen and Mingueza without too much danger. It did not have responsibility in the goal of Iago Sails, as the detour in Koundé finish being decisive to alter the path of the finish.

Jules Koundé: Orderly

In spite of his accidental intervention in the so much of the 1-1, the Frenchman was the best of a saga culé very exposed in front of the metres that is used to to advance Joao Cancel. It was more central that lateral in the complement, without any offensive contribution in all the party.

Ronald Araújo: Stranger

The alone captain played a first part in which had a lot work with Larsen and Sails. It exhibited his usual physical power in the duels, but committed some error in exit that carried to Xavi to demand him some things to the rest. By surprise, the 'charrúa' remained in the bench in the halftime, forcing the entry of Iñigo Martínez that recently enteró that ingresaría with the Celtic already in the field.

Pau Cubarsí: Cumplidor

The canterano follows adding minutes and titularities thanks to a discreet work, but very effective. Without taking risky decisions in exit, attentive in the mark and very ordered to avoid greater evils in the area, although in some duels exceeds his impetus, yielding lacking unnecessary.

Joao Cancel: Imprecise

The luso did not have a good party in Balaídos, disordered by long stretches in where it did not help in the mark by left and neither did to cost his experience to generate danger to profile changed, losing several key balloons. The Barça almost always remained with three deep down in front of each attempt of contragolpear of the Galicians because of his usual rises. Aú Like this, had a cut providencial in the second part to avoid the 2-1 of the Galicians.

Andreas Christensen: Uncomfortable

The Danish did not see comfortable as '5' in Balaídos, although it fulfilled with his work to recover several balloons when the team remained exposed backwards. It was admonished before the rest by a fault on Iago Sails and his exit seemed sung in the halftime, but recently left his place in the field in the 58' for the entry of Gündogan.

Frenkie Of Jong: Worn

It worked a lot to cover spaces between the midfield and the central, flawless in the shrinking and very hit in the distribution of the balloon. In the first part had more presence in contrary field, but in the complement delayed several metres after the exit of Christensen. It was the best of the centre of the field culé.

Pedri: Desconectado

Further to lead some exit with his usual good criterion, filtering balloons to Lamine and Lewandowski, saw desconectado without his best partner in the field: Gündogan. It left the field in the minute 75 for the entry of Fermín. It did not go his best night the one of the Saturday.

Lamine Yamal: Differential

It began the party very enchufado, demanding to Guaita with a finish crusader. Afterwards it went turning off, although it added an assistance in the goal of Lewandowski. No desbordó as much as in other parties, but avivó on the end to force a penalti that cost the victory. The extreme anticipated to Fran Beltrán and the mediocentro of the Celtic finish pateándole in his eagerness for clearing.

Vitor Roque: Turned off

'Tigrinho' Also began very active the meeting, associating with Lamine to create danger by right. Afterwards it forgave a manually very clear hand in front of Guaita by a bad control. Roque Tried to amend his error with a return to Lewandowski, but the Pole could not arrive to time. It went out in the 58' so that ingresara Raphinha.

Robert Lewandowski: Timely

The Pole took part little in the first part, but left sample of his quality and hierarchy with a golazo before the rest. The '9' received a pass of Lamine in the frontal of the area and, thanks to a control oriented to his right, could take out a big shot crossed that fusiló to Guaita. In the second part sealed his doublet with a penalti that owed patear in two opportunities. In the first failed, but saved him the overtaking of the goalkeeper.

Iñigo Martínez: Descolocado

The Basque replaced to Araújo after the rest and had problems to find accommodate in the improvised defence culé. Recostado By left, saw uncomfortable beside Cubarsí and left clear that still is not to the 100 %.

Raphinha: Errático

Ingresó By Vitor Roque in the 58' and was much more activate that Vitor Roque. It brushed the so much in a free shot that demanded to Guaita. Afterwards it created little danger with a Barça very dense to the end, failing several attempts of go through left.

Ílkay Gündogan: Inactivo

It contributed very little in attack from his entry in the minute 58, with a Barça disordered and without a mediapunta clear. To the German costs him in a team that every time has less clarity in contrary field.

Fermín López: Testimonial

It replaced to Pedri in the 75' to give a hand to Frenkie of Jong in the recovery. It tried, besides, break lines with some rises that did not arrive to cause actions of danger.
