Celta put Barça on the ropes. With 0-2 down, the Blaugranas were cornered. Defeat threatened, but in an incredible reaction they were able to turn the score around. João Cancelo, scorer of the third goal, was very critical of his team’s play and of himself, but he wanted to highlight the positive, which was the three points achieved.
The Portuguese has become a fixture for Xavi and for the second consecutive game he managed to score an important goal for the team. Despite this, against Celta he did not find his best level. “It is true that he was playing a very bad game, he was having many technical errors, something that is not normal for me. But the important thing is to stay focused and play until the end, and that’s how we achieved the three points. Although the team’s performance was not the best, the important thing is the three points,” he reflected.
Credit for the Barcelona team’s problems went to Celta, who locked himself in behind but was able to come out with speed and precision. That’s how both goals came. “Celta was closed at the back and made it very difficult for us to play our game, but we were patient,” explained Cancelo. “I was lost in the game, I made many technical errors and it is not normal. But it is always better to play badly and win than to play well and lose,” he reflected.
Regarding his love affair with the stands, which has not stopped encouraging him since his arrival at the club, Cancelo assured that he is “just getting started,” and was forceful about his future at the club: “If I perform, the club will love me and if I don’t, He’s going to leave, I have to work a lot,” he concluded.
