Xavi reveals how he unlocked Joao Felix after he struggled at Chelsea and Atletico Madrid
Barcelona's manager Xavi Hernandez answered a question about Joao Felix world class performances since joining Barcelona.
Barcelona continued to press high while Celta relied on counter-attacks, and based on the quality of chances both teams were creating, the away team were more successful with their game plan.
Xavi was forced to tweak his set-up at the start of the second-half, but Benitez’s men still looked dangerous every time they forrayed into the Barcelona half and doubled their advantage in the 76th minute.
Barcelona threw the kitchen sink, and the result was eight minutes of magic. Robert Lewandowski pulled one back in the 82nd minute after a scooped pass by Joao Felix. The Pole equalised on the 85th-minute mark, turning in a Cancelo cross.
The Manchester City loanee scored the winner in the 89th minute, running onto a Gavi delivery into the box.
