Overview
- Celta lost 2-4 to the reigning champions in Vigo, with the coach insisting his side competed well in stretches but lacked energy.
- Claudio Giráldez said Barcelona’s second and third goals came from correctible defensive mistakes that decided the match.
- He questioned a last‑minute switch in Barça’s XI, with Dani Olmo starting instead of Marc Casadó, noting it disrupted Celta’s final instructions.
- Óscar Mingueza played despite gastric problems and asked to come off, and Giráldez admitted he erred by not substituting him earlier.
- Ferran Jutglà called the result a shame, said Celta struggled to get out of a low block, and described the VAR‑confirmed handball penalty as surprising from his view.
