Mood is not everything in football. If so, perhaps any of us could have gone a little further. Also in life. What courage does do is stimulate talent. And that of the Celta footballers, especially

Iago Aspas

, should never be questioned. The great celestial rebellion against a porcelain Barcelona that had managed to advance 0-3 was consummated in the 96th minute. Aspas, who must have seen how time stopped around him, waited for the ball stuck in the front of the area and waited that his left booty would lead the Catalans to ruin. Celta scored three goals, they canceled another two and even claimed a penalty from

Mingueza

to

Galhardo

.

Everything in the second part.

And it was not inexplicable.

That's the worst.

There the drama of Barça

Sergi Barjuan

, in his brief journey as an interim, tried to cheer up the dressing room.

Although he failed to convince his people that his work should never be torture.

The great task of

Xavi Hernández

, received as a Messiah, will be none other than starting the complexes that torment some sunken footballers.

To a team lost in the league table and unable to win a single away game all season.

It will also be up to Xavi to try to understand the serious problem that Barcelona has with injuries. The last to fall were

Ansu Fati

,

Nico González

and

Eric García

. There are already eleven casualties, and the feeling that the players are being squeezed, without anyone noticing the serious consequences.

Courage, we said, is necessary so that the boots do not weigh down and the head does not lean towards the ground more than necessary. For something,

Eduardo Coudet

, Celta coach,

demanded

that the fans applaud Iago Aspas in the tenth minute. When a scorer loses confidence, all help seems necessary. Aspas woke up the game failing a

heads-up

with

Ter Stegen

. Of course the forward noticed. And answered. And he did not give up. It was always a scourge for Barcelona.

Before collapsing in the second act, the Barça team had planted themselves in Balaídos like a runaway horse. It even seemed that another present might be possible. At the first blink Ansu had already danced before

Hugo Mallo

. He sprinted, braked with his heel, cut and rehearsed a thread. The ball took an unlikely effect, perhaps after brushing against a defender, before reaching the net.

Barcelona felt so comfortable that progress was almost always clean. A good part of the fault was Nico González, who made his body float on the ground while he dodged rivals. His was the back pass that Busquets converted to 0-2. The 0-3, darned in a great choral play and crowned by Memphis with a header, should have resolved the afternoon. Because it was minute 34. Because Celta did not respond. Much less was it like that.

Injuries began to pile up and after the break

,

Balde

,

Araujo

and

Riqui

had to appear

. It was the preamble to the Galician uprising. Without Ansu on the offensive front, there was no one to look at no matter how much Memphis ran like a headless chicken. Without Nico, all coherence in transitions ceased to exist. And without Eric, the Catalans began to look only backwards, without taking into account that Celta would take advantage of it to drag them to the cemetery.

Ter Stegen, who has lost all his light, led Aspas to drive away his demons on 1-3.

Nolito

, who had been annulled somewhat due to an arm control, caught the 2-3 before the laziness of Lenglet and Alba.

Néstor Araujo

, before

Frenkie de Jong

was a foot from the sentence, warned of what was yet to come.

And there was Iago Aspas.

Waiting again for his moment.

Reminding us that there are few like him.

Barcelona continues to suffer.

He can't help but hold on to Xavi.

And to think that he will solve everything.
