Barcelona matchwinner Joao Cancelo: I was hopeless all game!

Barcelona fullback Joao Cancelo was delighted proving the matchwinner against Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Barca stormed back in the final 15 minutes to overturn Celta's 2-0 lead to win 3-2. Robert Lewandowski scored twice before Cancelo swooped for the winner.

"Personally I was having a very bad game. Technically I was making a lot of mistakes," Cancelo said afterwards. "We have to stay focused until the end. It's important to win by playing badly, but we have to improve.

"I was lost in my head and I made a lot of technical errors, which is not normal in my game, because I made a lot of bad passes, but it's better to play badly and win than to play well and lose.

"If I perform, the club will want me. If I don't perform, they will get rid of me.

The on-loan Manchester City fullback added: "Playing for the club is a dream and scoring this goal is very important, but I'm not leaving with a good feeling."
