Barcelona midfielder happy with 4-2 win over Celta Vigo – ‘Leaving with our objective achieved’ | OneFootball

FC Barcelona managed to capture all three points on their visit to Balaidos on Sunday, as they defeated Celta Vigo 4-2.

Three goals from Robert Lewandowski and another strike from Lamine Yamal ensured the Catalans came back with a victory despite their hosts testing them, especially in the first half.

There were a few worrisome things to emerge for manager Hansi Flick from the night, though, one of which was Marc Casado’s injury before kickoff.

Having felt discomfort during warm-up, the Spaniard was withdrawn from the lineup, with Dani Olmo replacing him. And the playmaker expressed his happiness about the victory after the match.

“Of course we like it more, it’s a victory, which was today’s objective. The team played well, especially in the first half when we had more possession,” he said, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

“It’s true that they pressed a little more in the second half, but we are leaving with our objective achieved, which was the three points,” Olmo added.

The Spaniard admitted that Celta “had a little more of the ball” in the second half, although “defensively we were better” than the Galicians.

Asked about his last-minute substitution for Casado, Olmo explained: “It was a bit quick. Marc felt some muscle problems during the warm-up.”

Olmo also praised Lewandowski, who scored a hat-trick on his return to the starting lineup.

“Robert is very important to the team and I’ve shown that today. We’re going to need him at 100%, like he was today, throughout the entire season because he’s going to give us a lot,” Olmo said about the striker.

“The ultimate goal remains the same, which is to win,” Olmo concluded.
