La Liga 2020-21: Barcelona title hopes end after 1-2 Celta Vigo loss

The Hindu  

Barcelona saw its hopes of winning La Liga extinguished as it was beaten 2-1 at home by Celta Vigo on Sunday. Barca was dominant in the first half and deservedly took the lead through Lionel Messi after 27 minutes in what could be the Argentine's final game at the Camp Nou given his unresolved contractual situation. Messi expertly headed Sergio Busquet's precise cross past Ivan Villar to make it 30 league goals for the season on 27 minutes. MATCH BLOG | "We hope that won't be his last game here at the Camp Nou, but it's a decision he needs to make," defender Jordi Alba said. READ| With just one minute of normal time left, Mina netted his second of the game to condemn the Catalans to at best a third-placed finish in Ronald Koeman's first season in charge.
