Match Report

Barcelona edged Celta Vigo 1–0 at the Spotify Camp Nou, but the three points came with a worrying footnote — a potential injury to Lamine Yamal threatened to overshadow the result before the final whistle even sounded. Yamal broke the deadlock from the spot in the 40th minute, the penalty awarded after Yoel Lago fouled him in the box following a sharp give-and-go with Dani Olmo. The teenage winger converted, but appeared to hurt himself on the strike itself and was replaced by Roony Bardghji just before half-time, with reports suggesting a hamstring tear that could put his World Cup place in doubt. Ferran Torres thought he had added a second with a volley that rattled the crossbar, only for the flag to rule it out for offside. The game felt fractured throughout — João Cancelo had already limped off as early as the 23rd minute, replaced by Alejandro Baldé. Celta Vigo threw on veteran Iago Aspas late on but couldn't find a way through. The win keeps Barcelona firmly in the LaLiga title picture, though the potential loss of their talisman Yamal may prove the more consequential headline from a tense Camp Nou night.
