La Liga leaders Barcelona suffered a dramatic collapse in a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo on Saturday with coach Hansi Flick saying his team played a "really bad" match. Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski's goals put the Catalans in a healthy position but Marc Casado's red card in the 82nd minute helped Celta start the fightback to snatch a point. Alfonso Gonzalez capitalised on a Jules Kounde error to pull a goal back before Hugo Alvarez levelled two minutes later.
Barcelona have won 11 league games this season but this became the third they have failed to take three points from without teenage winger Lamine Yamal.
Flick said he would challenge his side to win without the injured 17-year-old wing wizard and it seemed they were managing it until their spectacular late crumble.
Barcelona are five points clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga, with champions Real Madrid, third, playing on Sunday at Leganes.
"It was a really bad match from us, it was nothing like what we want to see," said Flick.
