Memphis Depay opened the scoring after a brilliant piece of skill from Ousmane Dembélé and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doubled Barcelona's lead just before halftime

Shortly after the break, Aubameyang scored again following another assist from Dembélé, but a misplaced pass from goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen then allowed Iago Aspas to pull one back for Celta.

Hopes of a comeback, however, were dented soon after as Jeison Murillo was sent off for a challenge on Depay.

There was then a lengthy break in play as Araujo received treatment before being taken off the pitch in an ambulance and replaced by Clément Lenglet.
