It fulfilled the aim for this end of year. The FC Barcelona achieved to defeat to the Celtic of Vigo in a party in which the men of Ernesto Valverde did not shine neither taught his best version, but knew to take advantage of the timidity of his rival in the first time to protect the leadership of LaLiga Santander in spite of the pressure of the Athletic of Madrid. Dembélé And Messi sentenced the duel.

The FC Barcelona knew that it confronted to a team that, during the last seasons, always has treated to snatch him the command of the party by means of the possession of the balloon. Nevertheless, in this occasion found to a Celtic of shy Vigo that seemed to not to dare to advance too much his lines of pressure.

The doubts of the Celtic carried to the ones of Cardoso to no man's land, something that neglected a lot to the team in the defensive line and generated spaces backwards with which the Barcelona were lethal. The FC Barcelona found , therefore, that without finish to do a brilliant game had the control of the party without suffering in the defensive zone.

To the ten minutes of meeting, arrived the first so much of the Barcelona. Jordi Alba took the balloon inside the area and expected to that his partner Leo Messi arrived to zone of shot to put him the pass of the death of all the life. The Argentinian struck and Rubén stopped it, but left it to him died to Dembélé so that the French put the first.

The FC Barcelona had any good occasion by mediation of Luis Suárez and of the own Leo Messi, but did not go until the minute 45 that the Argentinian achieved to put the second so much of the Barcelona. Jordi Alba went back to be an active important in this so much, since the one of L'Hospitalet put him a perfect balloon to the Argentinian so that it defined to perfection.

The Barcelona, to half gas

Cardoso Made some replacements to change the sign of the party, but did not serve him too much. Brais Méndez upset to Marc-André ter Stegen with a shy shot, but the FC Barcelona, without being too intense in any moment, generated danger with some chispazos offensive that ready were to turn into the 3-0.

Special attention to a shot crossed of Luis Suárez with the left leg in an occasion in which the Uruguayan remained entirely only in front of Rubén. The Uruguayan forward was very participatory but, again was missing him this necessary tarpaulin to mark the differences of face to the rival goal.

Also Leo Messi had a clear occasion that did not finish at the bottom of the meshes by very little. All originated with a shot of Dembélé that escaped him to Rubén White, and here was the Argentinian to treat to hunt the refuse. Nevertheless, the goalkeeper of the celestial group reacted to time to avoid the goal of the '10'.

Little more they generated both teams in attack. The FC Barcelona generated ocaisones clear but scarce and the Celtic only stepped the area of Marc-André ter Stegen in explained occasions. At the end, the FC Barcelona achieved to close the year with a victory holgada regarding result but scarce regarding game. Sufficient to keep the leadership.
