Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a brace as Barcelona beat Celta Vigo 3-1 to enhance their chances of finishing second in La Liga 2021-22 season. Memphis Depay scored the opener for Barca before Aubameyang made it 2-0 in the 41st minute. In the second half, Auba made it 3-0 for his side. Iago Aspas scored a consolation goal for Celta Vigo. Here are the records broken.

Match
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. Auba then reacted quickly to slot the second goal. In the second half, Dembele was the provider once again as Auba swept home. Aspas pulled a goal back in the 50th minute.

  • At one stage, Barca were ninth in La Liga when Barca confirmed Xavi as their coach.
  • Since then, the rise has been superb.
