Barcelona is defending their La Liga title this season. They faced Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on April 22, 2026. Barcelona won the match 1-0 against Celta Vigo.
Lamine Yamal scored the only goal of the match from a penalty in the 40th minute. However, Yamal suffered a hamstring injury while taking the penalty and had to be replaced shortly after.
The match experienced a delay of over 15 minutes due to a medical incident in the stands. This disruption did not affect Barcelona’s focus on securing the win.
With this victory, Barcelona restored their nine-point lead at the top of La Liga over Real Madrid. They now have eight matches remaining in the season.
Celta Vigo is currently chasing qualification for next season’s European competitions. Borja Iglesias has scored 11 goals for them this season, but it was not enough to secure points against Barcelona.
Ferran Torres had a goal disallowed for offside in the second half. This decision did not alter the outcome of the match.
Pedri stated, “We have to win every game and seal La Liga as soon as possible. It was important to win today.” He also expressed concern about Yamal’s injury, hoping it would be for as few weeks as possible.
Looking ahead, Barcelona will travel to Getafe for their next match. Details remain unconfirmed regarding Yamal’s injury severity.
