Beautiful day for a game of football.
Celta de Vigo hoping to be playing football at Balaidos in La Primera again next season.
Good afternoon everybody.
Just under six minutes to go until kick-off.
That should be enough time for Casey Keller to give us the full reasoning behind
whether or not it's Cadiz, Getafe, Valencia, Almeria, Celta or Real Madrid that's going down
along with Espanyol and Elche.
To put the Barcelona defence under pressure and already a tricky ball in the box
and a giveaway gifting Celta an opportunity.
Gabby Vega with the deflected effort.
Panned and parried by Ter Stegen.
An Almeria loss or a by-the-lead loss.
There you go.
Yes.
Got that?
Perfectly cleared.
Marcos Alonso.
Not the best clearance.
Big chance.
Goal.
Barcelona.
Silence inside Balaidos.
From Kessier.
Exactly what happens.
It's a simple ball in the box.
It's not a good clearance.
Then it's a scuffed.
Could he be offside, Casey?
It sure looks like he's offside there.
So, yeah, this will obviously, as every goal does, it goes to VAR
and it looks like Kessier off of this scuffed pass was maybe a fraction offside
and it could be the lifeline that Celta Vigo's defence needs
because what a huge mistake on the poor clearance.
And then Lewandowski with the scuffed shot falls straight to Kessier
who may have just inches been offside.
To me, that looks like that right foot is just in an offside position.
Yeah, the one thing is to say that's the 18-yard camera and where he was.
Exactly what you need to know.
He is offside and it remains 0-0.
Big chance.
Gabriel Vega.
Again, Ter Stegen is up to the task.
Is that Celta Vigo knowing that they need to score a goal
to win a match against a difficult defence,
that they want to push numbers forward to be able to press.
Off the top by Oskar.
Haby Galan.
Looking for Seferovic.
Difficult that one, isn't it?
Because you've got to generate the power opener.
It's not a bad ball, but as you mentioned, you're standing underneath of it.
You're under pressure from Christensen.
You're not getting a good run at it.
So then you really have to try to snap this.
He was the player that was onside.
Let him continue his run through
and then just really well defended from Christensen,
getting the timing of his challenge.
Perfectly legal, as you mentioned.
Kessier.
He did what he had to be on the goalkeeper's second corner.
Yeah, no question.
You're just standing strong at that near post,
making sure you don't guess on the cross.
Stand up strong.
You can see the awkwardness as you kind of touch.
Good touch by Kessier.
Now, this is a chance for Celta.
Carlos Perez with options.
Bad decision.
Really, really bad decision.
It's 1-0.
And it all starts from the bad giveaway from Kessier and then the break.
Look at the great run on the left side of your screen.
And then all of a sudden, now you find yourself in a bad position.
Lewandowski through chance.
What a miss!
How has Franck Kessier done that?
To play the ball quickly out.
Lewandowski there.
And Kessier finds himself back on side.
And as Celta's trying to collapse.
Two for company.
Wins the race for pace.
Chunky cross.
However, it goes just wide.
That's a really good turn of pace.
Decent ball at the far post.
De La Torre recognizes that Oscar's in a good spot,
but finished it like the defensive midfielder that he is.
Never looks confident on this strike.
And look, Koundé does a good job of making sure.
From a goalkeeping standpoint, let others do the work.
Yeah, well, of course.
Particularly when it's cleared so far that there's not a second chance to put a cross in.
Lewandowski clips the post.
That's the fear.
It's a little 1-2.
And then what you can't allow is you can't allow the space to open up the goal
and allow Lewandowski to come inside.
Zaferovic.
He can get it to Gabi Vega.
He's got another chance.
That's a good ball.
Third time lucky.
Spilled.
Offside.
Maybe. Nope.
Goodness me.
Off at the other.
Because Oscar was offside.
Clearly.
But Marcos Alonso does a good job at the far post.
That much more difficult for the rebound and what the players can mean.
But again, another uncharacteristic turnover.
Zaferovic.
For Gabi Vega.
Nails Celta.
Balaidos erupts.
That does exactly that.
Poor giveaway in midfield.
Zaferovic waits for the run.
Great first touch just to create that little bit of space.
And then he needs the composure of the finish.
Not the easiest angle.
But gets it perfectly right.
The outstretched right foot of Ter Stegen.
The inside of the post at the other.
At the right-hand side.
And it just cushions into the side netting.
What a finish.
And what an opportunity for Celta.
Radolid.
Ketafi.
He's passed him.
The trailing leg just caught Vega a little bit.
It was a good challenge.
Yeah, you see the trailing leg.
It's a foul.
Two goals against New York on Sunday for Ansu Fati.
Good to see him back in form.
Here comes Celta.
Knew he couldn't make the challenge there.
Space on the right-hand side for Carlos Perez.
It goes in.
Oh no.
Do it.
Unbelievable.
Zaferovic.
Goalkeeper Iñaki Peña is just on for Ter Stegen.
Hasn't had a touch of the ball yet.
His first touch is to take it from the back of his own net.
Having let the cross go all the way in.
Celta lead 2-0.
Just like they drew it up.
Yeah, exactly.
That's how they drew it up.
A mishit cross.
A goalkeeper coming in.
Who's clearly not quite into the match yet.
But look.
I'm not going to blame the goalkeeper on this.
Because this happened.
Mark, what are you going to do?
I mean, this is just such a poorly hit cross that finds itself in an absolutely phenomenal position.
When this ball is going over.
Sotola's head.
He's not going to get to this ball.
I mean, it's just one of those fluke balls that ends up being picture perfect.
That was two yards over his arm.
How is he going to rise to that?
I mean, it's just.
Talk about a moment of a mishit that works absolutely perfect.
That's the ball.
And it's 2-1.
Game on.
He's at it again.
In this fixture.
And Soufati.
Yeah, that was the fear.
That was the fear we talked about.
They've lost too much space.
Look, you're not really defending anybody here.
You've got to get tighter on the cross.
And then when that cross is able without the pressure.
You then can't step up.
Because of those runs can come from a deeper position.
And then they are.
And gets in behind.
And a simple finish for Soufati.
All he has to do is make sure that he doesn't hit VAR.
He doesn't.
And now we are going to have.
Professional stupidity.
That's the side of it that frustrates me.
You're a pro.
Understand what you're doing.
And do things the right way.
Now the key is winning the second balls on this possession.
As we know Barcelona are going to have to.
Yeah.
That's a cynical foul.
But it's a good one.
In that position.
But now get up.
And continue to play.
Look at the bench for Celta.
They want the full time whistle.
And there is Ivan Villar.
Whistle to the lips of the referee.
Safety.
For Celta.
