Scored: Ansu Fati (11); Olaza (51 goals); Sergi Roberto (90 + 5)
In the 202021 La Liga match, Barça played very well when it was easy to bury Villarreal at 4-0. The attackers of the Catalunya team had a joyous day with a brace from the young talent Ansu Fati and a penalty goal by Lionel Messi (the other was shot by the rival net).

Against Villarreal, instead of implementing an already familiar 4-3-3 scheme, Barça went on to kick 4-2-3-1. There, coach Koeman set up a powerful attacking ring with Lionel Messi kicking the top of the attack as a “virtual number 9”, Ansu Fati kicked to the left, Antoine Griezmann on the opposite wing and Philippe Coutinho attacking. .
This quartet played a very transformative game. Specifically, the Blaugrana is very strong on the left wing with the mobility of defender Jordi Alba and forward Fati. With what has been done against Villarreal, there is no reason for coach Koeman to adjust his game and squad as a guest of Celta de Vigo, the rival is not in good shape (he only won 1/9 game recently in La Liga).

| Barça starting list |
Exactly, the Dutch army kept the starting list and if volatility only appeared on the bench when striker Braithwaite recovered from injury to be out.
Although it had to be a guest, Barca still took the lead after the opening whistle and it only took more than 10 minutes to play, they found the opening goal. In a midfield attack, the Celta defense played superficially, allowing Coutinho to push the ball to Ansu Fati. The 2002-born prodigy deftly slid past the opponent to penetrate the penalty area, then finished the goal with a swinging motion from the outside of his right leg.

| Ansu Fati continued to open fire in La Liga |
So right after the first 2 La Liga matches, the newest perfect product from La Masia’s oven scored 3 goals. If Fati continues to show this form, no one will “talk” to coach Koeman about “punishing” Luis Suárez, causing the forward to flee to Atlético de Madrid.
Having the advantage of holding hands, Barça is more convenient to control the situation, but Celta de Vigo is also to be praised when the headquarters players keep their spirits and fight with perseverance. Whenever they had a chance, they quickly went into an offensive state to break through. Neto’s goal was threatened at times, though not at a critical level.
35 minutes, as if Barça had only 10 people on the field when Piqué knocked out the rival in a situation that could lead to a goal and the referee took a red card directly. However, after consulting with the VAR team, the king of the field changed his mind because Denis Suárez (former player … Barça) fell into an offside position.
In the 40th minute, Messi suddenly shot straight into Celta’s goal from the corner and the ball hit the crossbar. But then Barça could not escape the “life” of the lack of people. Midfielder Lenglet was sent off after receiving his second yellow card.
The game was interrupted for a few minutes because Barça called the referee together to react, but nothing changed. To fill the void left by Lenglet, coach Koeman was forced to “sacrifice” Griezmann to make room for a central: Ronald Araujo, Uruguayan player born in 1999, is also from La Masia.
Despite having to play due to lack of people, Barça still found a goal in the second minute. 51 minutes, after “exchanging” the ball with Coutinho, Lionel Messi showed his superior technique to penetrate Celta’s penalty area, eliminating two players The rival, before injecting the shoe, tried to put the ball in the center, but the ball hit Olaza’s leg, changing direction, causing goalkeeper Villar to stop.

| Messi increased the gap to 2 goals |
In the 59th minute, Coutinho kicked the ball against Celta Vigo’s goal and Messi quickly cut the ball to kick the net. However, after considering the VAR, the referee did not recognize the goal for the M10 offside error.
When the gap was safe and time passed at the end of the game, coach Koeman took the pillars out of the field little by little and Barça also stopped to maintain and protect the results. In the 74th minute, Celta had a goal to shorten the score when a shot from Baeza in the 16.50 area passed a Barça player and bounced off the crossbar.
The idea of closing the game with a score of 2-0 for Barça, in the last minute (Thursday), the Catalan team had a third goal to determine the result. Messi “danced among Celta’s defense” but in the end he couldn’t beat goalkeeper Villar. However, thanks to that, Sergi Roberto had the opportunity to hit the ground with a volley.
Thus, the new reign of Ronald Koeman in Catalan begins without problems when Barça won the first 2 La Liga games, scored 7 goals and did not concede a single time.
