Hell broke loose at Balaidos. Iago Aspas managed to equalise in stoppage time with a great shot which saw the ball go in at the far post. Ter Stegen was left for dead and Celta made it 3-3 after being 0-3 down at half-time. Barca were punished for their terrible second half display.

Barcelona went from winning 0-3 to drawing 3-3 and taking just a point from the Balaidos. All of that was due to a second half display in which Barcelona lacked "personality", as De Jong said.

Celta kept believing and showed plenty of character to fight back from three goals down. Celta kept on pressing and they managed to get the equaliser. 

Aspas received a perfect pass on the edge of the area and he was on his own. The '10' had his eyes on the goal and he hit it first time to send the ball into the back of the net. 

It was a curling shot which left Ter Stegen with no chance. It hit the base of the post and went in. The German keeper got fingertips to it, but it was not enough. 

Aspas, after scoring his goal, took his shirt off, threw it to the floor and went to celebrate near the fans. All his teammates went over to congratulate their main man up front for salvaging a draw for Celta.
