Barcelona have been dealt with a major blow after a key player suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday.
The Catalans maintained their four-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga with a remarkable 4-3 comeback win over Celta Vigo.
Hansi Flick’s side found themselves 3-1 down at home after Borja Iglesias’ hat-trick before rallying in sensational fashion to score a winner right at the death.
A penalty was awarded by VAR in the 98th minute after a foul on Dani Olmo and Raphinha held his nerve to blast his .. pot-kick high into the net.
Despite the wild celebrations at the end of the match, Barcelona’s win will be overshadowed by an injury to Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish striker was seen clutching his hamstring and was eventually replaced in the 78th minute of the victory.

The club wrote in a brief statement: ‘Tests carried out on Sunday have confirmed that first-team player Robert Lewandowski has a left semitendinosus injury. His return will be determined by his progress.’
Lewandowski is now a major doubt for Barcelona’s title run-in, Copa del Rey final and Champions League semi-final.

Robert Lewandowski has spearheaded Barcelona’s attack this season with 40 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions.
Last week, Flick likened the 36-year-old to Cristiano Ronaldo, saying: ‘When you play at this level at this age… on one hand, it comes down to his fitness, and on the other hand, he takes great care of himself.
‘Like Cristiano Ronaldo, he has an amazing physical structure. He is very professional and controls all factors to deliver optimal performance.’
