Barcelona won the match 1-0 against Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on Tuesday.
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.
The match faced a nearly 20-minute delay due to a medical emergency in the stands. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the incident.
Barcelona restored their nine-point lead at the top of La Liga with this win. This is crucial as they are defending their title this season.
Ferran Torres had a goal disallowed for offside in the second half, adding to the tension of the match. Eric Garcia gave away a free-kick at the edge of the box in the final minutes.
Marcos Alonso’s free-kick was shot straight at the wall, failing to capitalize on that opportunity.
Pedri commented on Yamal’s injury, saying, “I hope [Lamine’s injury] is for as few weeks as possible.” He emphasized the importance of winning, stating, “We have to win every game and seal La Liga as soon as possible. It was important to win today.”
As of midday Wednesday, observers are awaiting updates on Yamal’s condition. The exact nature and severity of his injury are unclear.
Looking ahead, Barcelona will travel to Getafe for their next match. This will be another crucial fixture as they aim to maintain their lead in La Liga.
