While Celta came into the match with the intensity that a semi-final deserves, Barcelona expected calmer and most of the time they knew how to get out of the overwhelming Galician pressure. In the first six minutes, Celta had two occasions in which they could not find the goal.
It was Ilias who unbalanced the match. Ten minutes after Celta’s approaches, He remembered what Xavi saw in him to make him debut with the first team in November with a playful game that caused the first goal. Víctor Barberá, with the help of Damián when he dived to try to clear, opened the scoring. Barça insisted only two minutes later, when Estanis found Juanda at the second post and he scored at will after the poor start of César Fernández.
The Celt replied in minute 30 with a goal from Aitor Mañas who came down the left wing. This side was in a lot of danger after the ball passes through the feet of Martín Conde or Hugo Álvarezanother with experience in the first team.
While Celta continued to push and be the protagonist, Barça continued to score. This is how it happened as soon as it came out in the second half, returning to extend the advantage to two goals through Aleix. Ilias and Juanda were once again decisive in the goal.
Celta did not take long to react, finding the goal again through Aitor Mañas, footballer on loan from Real Madrid in the winter market. The goals continued to fall, one for each team. First Barberá and then Hugo Álvarez to put the 3-4 on the scoreboard.
The last fifteen minutes were a constant harassment of Celtabeyond some exit against Barça, but the result did not change.
