MADRID, Feb 18, (AP): Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty kick in stoppage time after missing his first attempt for Barcelona to win at Celta Vigo 2-1, relieving some pressure on the club ahead of a Champions League playoff.
Lewandowski's first attempt was saved by Celta goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, but the Poland striker received a chance to retake the penalty after video review determined Guaita moved off the goal-line before Lewandowski shot.

The veteran then rolled the ball into the corner in the seventh minute of stoppage time to give Barcelona the victory after the home draw against Granada in the previous round, when it was jeered by its fans.
"I don't know what happened in the first penalty, but the goalkeeper was off the line too fast and I had the chance to score as usual in the second penalty,” Lewandowski said. "It was very important for us to get these three points, and now we can start focusing on the Champions League.”

Barcelona visits Napoli on Wednesday in the first leg of the round of 16. The five-time European champion is back in the Champions League knockout rounds after two consecutive eliminations in the group stage.
"It was an agonizing win but it was well deserved,” Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández said.
Xavi has been under added pressure despite announcing recently he will step down as Barcelona coach after the season. The team has won 10 of 12 points since he made the announcement.
