Barca take a big step to retain second place in La Liga. Xavi’s men won against Celta Vigo on Tuesday at Camp Nou on behalf of the 36th day (3-1). After a hesitant start to the match, Ousmane Dembélé unblocked the situation for his team. Launched in the middle of the field, the former Rennais eliminated two opponents with in particular a superb small bridge to deliver a center back victoriously taken over by Memphis Depay (30th). At the very end of the first period, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang showed opportunism to double the lead (41st).

Big concern for Araujo
The Barcelonans thought they were heading for a quiet evening but Ronald Araujo’s spectacular injury worried Camp Nou (61st). After a head-to-head clash against Gavi, the Uruguayan defender lost consciousness and had to be evacuated by ambulance. We hope for reassuring news for the player. With this success, Barça temporarily have a seven-point lead over third-placed Sevilla.
