ANKARA
Spanish La Liga leaders Barcelona settled for a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo in a Saturday away match.
Barcelona’s Brazilian winger Raphinha scored the opener in the first half.
The visitors doubled the lead when Polish star Robert Lewandowski scored on a counterattack.
Barca seemed comfortably ahead until midfielder Marc Casado was shown a red card for a foul in the 82nd minute.
Two minutes later, Celta Vigo’s Alfon Gonzalez scored for the hosts to narrow the gap. Barcelona central defender Jules Kounde kept the ball too long, a big mistake, as Gonzalez took the ball from his feet and scored in the penalty area.
Unnerved Barcelona have gone into a tragic finale at Celta as the hosts’ winger Hugo Alvarez leveled two minutes later.
The teams shared points after the final whistle.
Barcelona have 34 points in 14 matches and are five points clear of Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid are in the third spot with 27 points. They will play on Sunday at Leganes.
