📸 Raphinha nets opener as Barcelona lead early at Celta Vigo

La Liga giants Barcelona have gotten off on the right foot tonight in Galicia as Hansi Flick’s men have taken the lead against Celta Vigo.

Despite a narrow 1-0 defeat at Real Sociedad before the recent international break, Barcelona remain early favorites to end the season as champions under the German tactician and could be set for another three-point haul.

Even though Lamine Yamal is absent, Barça’s vaunted attack struck first through star Brazilian winger Raphinha, who cooly finished past Vicente Guaita in the 15th minute.

In the midst of perhaps what is the form of his life, the former Leeds United fan favorite hit his 11th league goal of the season, pulling him level with Vinícius Júnior and behind only Robert Lewandowski in the goal chart.

Will the Barcelona train get back to full speed tonight?
