The Catalan team drew 2-2 with Celta at the Camp Nou.

With a Lionel Messi goal, Barcelona drew 2-2 with Celta at the Camp Nou in a match for the 14th round of the Spanish League. With this result, the Catalan team remains at the top of the table with 36 points, but left the door open for its closest runner, Valencia, who is 31, to approach.

The set of Ernesto Valverde was not a simple commitment as the Galician team stood up front and managed to get ahead after 20 minutes, when Iago Aspas broke the attempt to bail out of the rival defense and assisted Maximiliano Gómez. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen masterfully covered the Uruguayan's shot with his foot, but the rebound was for Aspas to push the goal.

Anyway, the advantage of the vigueses lasted just two minutes, the time it took the Barsa to baste a good collective play between Andres Iniesta, Luis Suarez and Paulinho that ended at the feet of Lionel Messi. The Rosario defined coldly, signed his 13th goal in this edition of the League and recomposed the brown.

In a very entertaining duel, both teams had opportunities to de-level before halftime. In the clearest, the goalkeeper Rubén showed good reflexes to cover a header from the edge of the small area of the Brazilian Paulinho.

In the complement, the local began to impose its game and was inclining the field towards the arch of Rubén. Thus, it was not surprising that at 17 minutes he took advantage with a combination at full speed between Messi and Jordi Alba, a low center of the side and a touch to the network of Uruguayan Luis Suarez. Then he caressed the third, but Rubén flew to get a header from Messi.

The victory seemed headed, but at 24 Iago Aspas left on the way to Samuel Umtiti, who was injured in his attempt to pursue him. The striker reached the bottom on the right and let him serve the goal to Maximiliano Gomez, who did the homework and nailed the 2 to 2 for Celta.

In the last quarter of an hour, Barcelona searched with insistence and had several clear opportunities to lose altitude, including a devious header from Messi with the goalkeeper already defeated, but he had to settle for equality.
