BarcelonaA 21-year-old dwarf, who has only played a handful of games in Primera, ended up taking Balaídos to a loud ovation. Perhaps it is the last ovation that the Celta stadium will be able to dedicate to Gabri Veiga, because, with a clause of 40 million euros and after a first course to frame the elite, he is one of the sweets that the club Galician will see how they piss him off this summer. With a face still like that of a teenager, Veiga scored both of his team’s goals on a night where the club that has seen him grow up since he was a child was playing for his permanence.
The Celta feud is usually a complicated place for the Blaugrana, and in fact the Galician midfielder became the first player to score two goals for Barça in La Liga since another Celtic player, Iago Aspas, in November 2021. Xavi Hernández’s, with nothing more at stake than not making a fool of themselves like the one a couple of days ago in Valladolid, were just luxury spectators at the party of Gabri Veiga and Celta (2- 1). Finally, who will accompany Elche and Espanyol in the Second Division is Valladolid.
Frenkie de Jong is a very good player, but he is a very different midfielder to Sergio Busquets. With Eric Garcia as a pivot, Xavi entrusted the Dutchman with the responsibility of getting the ball out and, thus, from a mistake in his half by Ferran Torres, Celta’s first goal was born. The ex-Ajax player sends a poisoned ball to the Valencian, who, in turn, falls asleep and sees how they take it. The play would end with Veiga’s first goal, which caused an explosion in a stadium that, while watching the last rays of the sun fall, was biting its nails for having reached the last day of the championship playing for permanence.
No record for Ter Stegen
The Galicians had been complicating their lives in recent days until they received the visit of Barça with water up to their necks. Luck, however, was on their side. Without doing much, wasting some counter-attacks, the loss of the ball by De Jong – who wanted to find Ferran, but ran into a good anticipation from ex-Blaugrana Mingueza – ended with the first local goal. An audience upset with their team breathed a sigh of relief, in which for many moments it looked like a team without a soul, in front of a Barça that was better on the grass. Ter Stegen will no longer be able to surpass Paco Liaño’s record: the German closes a season at the highest level, keeping a clean sheet on 26 occasions.
Without Iago Aspas, captain and institution celtic that causes discomfort in his back, Celta reached the break leading the scoreboard, even though the script of the match had drawn more chances for Barça. Kessie, who probably played his last game as a Barcelona player, had the clearest chances. He actually came close to seeing goal after collecting a biting shot from Lewandowski, but after the VAR review Pulido Santana disallowed the goal for offside. Kessie was also the author of a header that went just wide.
Barça’s main offensive attacks in the first half often featured the participation of the Ivorian, with Lewandowski more adept at distributing play than finishing it. The Pole has not signed one of his best personal courses in terms of goals, but he ends his first season at Barça as the top scorer in the League. The former Bayern player has scored 23 goals, four more than his main pursuer, Benzema.
Ansu Fati cuts distances
In the second half, Celta had much more personality and, luckily, Gabri Veiga scored his second goal. With a cross-shot he surprised Iñaki Peña who had just entered the game. Balaídos danced, but they still had a while to suffer. Xavi moved the bench, and between two we entered, Dembélé and Ansu Fati, shortened distances. The Frenchman served a candy that in the 10th finished with a goal. The marker would no longer move. Barça ends the season as champions and Celta saves the category thanks to a triumph as sweaty as it is prestigious.
