Luis Suarez Who scored both goals For Barcelona. Image From:@twitter/@FCBarcelona 

This is the second draw for Barcelona in 3 games and that faded away their chances to win a title this season. Now they are in the first position in La Liga but not for long. Real Madrid has one game in hand and just 1 point behind Barcelona. If Real Madrid will win a game against Espanyol they will lead the league with 2 points. Barcelona dropped 2 points in this game as Celta Vigo is at the bottom of the table in La Liga. Barcelona needed to win this game with dominance but they missed it.

	Team 1	Vs	Team 2
	Barcelona	Vs	Celta Vigo
	Suarez 20'		Smolov 50'
	Suarez 67'		Aspas 88'
Score	2		2

6 minute of the game, What an unlucky moment for Barcelona, Barcelona got a free-kick, Messi took it and put it in the best position in the post area when the curled ball came into the post area Pique made a contact with a ball with a powerful header. It was unlucky for Barcelona and Pique that a ball hit a post and missed a net.

20 minutes, Goal- Luis Suarez(Barcelona), Assisted by Messi, Messi took a free-kick just outside of the post area, He just lift a ball with his left foot and Suarez was there to take it. Suarez headed a ball into a net. Amazing pass by Lionel Messi and also good and perfect header by Suarez.

24 minutes, A great cutting pass by Dennis Suarez who finds Brais Mendez, Mendez shot a ball with his left foot but Ter Stegen had got enough touch on the ball, and the ball deflected to the post. A wonderful save by Ter Stegen.

40 minutes, Messi with the ball making his way towards the Celta side, He was open and no one was there to guard him. Messi flicked a ball with his left-footed shot but it was just missed a top left corner. Messi never missed this kind of opportunity, It's rare for him to miss this kind of chance.

50 minutes, Goal - Smolov(Celta Vigo), Assisted by Yokuslu, Pique tried to stop Yokuslu but he Yokusu made a pass giving Pique no chance to stop it which in the open area of Barca Post. Smolov just needs to put a ball into the net with ease when no one was guarding him he didn't make any mistake in doing it and put a ball into the net with his left-footed shot. easy goal for Celta Vigo and a sloppy performance by Barcelona in the defense.

67 minutes, Goal - Luis Suarez, Assisted by Messi, Messi made a smooth one-touch pass, Luis Suarez took it and turn around with a ball and his left-footed kick was enough to put a ball into the net of Celta Vigo. What a goal by Suarez. 

  

88 minutes, Goal - Aspas, Ter Stegen had no chance to stop this free-kick, a ball went into the net when Aspas struck a ball with his left foot. Barcelona thought that they won a game Aspas had other ideas.

Now Real Madrid is in a good position to win a title. Barcelona's sloppy performance in this game put them in a bad position to win a title. Barcelona doesn't look like a team they used to be in the past. 

 Next Game: Barcelona Vs Athletico Madrid, Celta Vigo Vs Mallorca

Barcelona's next game against Athletico Madrid is also going to be tough for them if Barcelona will be unable to win a game against Athletico Madrid in this match than it will be tough for them to win a title this season.
