    Barca beat Celta Vigo 3-1

    After claiming a 2-1 win over Real Betis over the weekend, Barca saw Memphis open the scoring after Ousmane Dembele charged down the right flank and squared the ball for the Dutchman.

    Why does this story matter?

    Xavi came in as Barcelona's head coach in November and turned things around. At one stage, Barca were ninth in La Liga when Barca confirmed Xavi as their coach. Since then, the rise has been superb. Barca are a win away from sealing second position and nobody would have put their money on the same given the danger which surrounded their campaign earlier.
