Look away Barcelona fans! Robert Lewandowski picks up untimely injury during Celta Vigo draw as Hansi Flick's side suffer double blow in La Liga title race
Hansi Flick was forced to sub off Robert Lewandowski due to an injury in Barcelona's comeback win over Celta Vigo.
Barcelona conceded three goals in the first hour of the match after taking an early lead through Ferran Torres' strike. The La Liga leaders, however, staged a brilliant comeback thanks to Raphinha's brace, including a last-gasp winner and Dani Olmo's goal, to beat Celta Vigo 4-3.

The three points against Celta Vigo helped the Blaugrana extend their lead over arch-rivals Real Madrid to seven points at the top of the table. However, Lewandowski's injury will be a matter of concern for the club ahead of their crucial Copa del Rey final against Los Blancos next week.
