Barcelona vs. Celta Vigo: Goals, Highlights from La Liga Match

The last time Barcelona met Celta Vigo in the league, the Galicians ran away with a surprise 4-1 victory. The Liga rivals met once again at the Camp Nou on Sunday evening—and it was the Blaugrana who drew first blood. 

A few minutes shy of the half-hour mark, Lionel Messi scored a beautiful free-kick, his 14th dead-ball conversion in his La Liga career, per @Messistats. It was also a landmark for his goal tally:

In the 39th minute, Celta drew level when John Guidetti converted from the spot after the Swedish forward was brought down by Jordi Alba:

In the 59th minute, Barca took the lead for the second time when Luis Suarez latched on to a sensational Messi through ball:

In the 75th minute, Suarez added a second after some inspiring work from his colleague Neymar and Messi:

In the 81st minute, Barca equalled the score they were defeated by in the corresponding fixture with something special. Messi was brought down for a penalty, which he stepped up to take. However, instead of converting his 300th La Liga goal, he set up Suarez for his hat-trick!  

Outrageous! Not long after, Ivan Rakitic made it five:

In injury time, one of the finest second halves of football you are ever likely to see was completed by Neymar's strike to make it 6-1:
