Barcelona secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
Lamine Yamal scored the only goal from a penalty in the 40th minute. However, he suffered a hamstring injury while taking the penalty and had to be replaced shortly after.
The match experienced a delay of over 15 minutes due to a medical incident in the stands. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the situation, but it caused a significant interruption.
With this win, Barcelona restored their nine-point lead at the top of La Liga. They are defending their title this season and appear to be in strong form.
Celta Vigo is currently chasing qualification for next season’s European competitions. They have been competitive but fell short in this match.
Ferran Torres had a goal disallowed for offside during the second half, which could have changed the match dynamics significantly.
As of now, Barcelona has eight matches remaining in their La Liga season. Pedri emphasized the importance of winning every game to seal La Liga as soon as possible.
Looking ahead, Barcelona will travel to Getafe for their next match. Meanwhile, Pedri expressed hope that Yamal’s injury would keep him sidelined for as few weeks as possible; he will undergo tests tomorrow to assess the damage.
