Raphinha's 98th-minute winner sends Barcelona to seventh heaven
The Brazil forward, who has had a stellar season, scored with almost the last kick of the game.
Raphinha scored a penalty in the eighth minute of injury time as La Liga leaders Barcelona completed a quite remarkable comeback to beat Celta Vigo 4-3 in the Spanish top flight on Saturday.
The Brazil forward, who has had a stellar season, scored with almost the last kick of the game after a video assistant referee review ruled that Dani Olmo was tripped inside the area.
Hansi Flick's side had been looking at a shock home defeat after 62 minutes, with Borja Iglesias' hat-trick wiping out Ferran Torres' early finish to give the visitors a 3-1 lead. Que early celebrations in Madrid.
Barcelona though, knowing that any dropped points would give rivals Real Madrid a route back into the title race, regrouped and scored two goals in four second-half minutes trough Olmo and the Raphinha to get back level and piled on the pressure.
It appeared as though Celta had weathered the storm and were going to see out the game for a point, but then Olmo was tripped, the penalty was given on VAR advice and Raphinha stepped up to score the ensuing penalty to complete an epic comeback.
The win extends Barcelona's lead over second-placed Real Madrid to seven points, before Los Blancos host Athletic Club on Sunday.
