• Joao Cancelo terrified fans after appearing to become "possessed" during an interview
• The Portuguese conducted an interview after Barcelona's win over Celta Vigo
• The ex-Manchester City star netted a match-winning goal for the Catalans

Joao Cancelo left fans petrified after some feared he had become ‘possessed’ during his post-match interview after he inspired Barcelona to an incredible comeback victory against Celta Vigo on Saturday.

Cancelo, who arrived at Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester City due to his lack of playing time under Pep Guardiola, has made a remarkable impact in Catalonia.

The right-back's 89th-minute goal secured a thrilling 3-2 comeback win, propelling Xavi's team back to the summit of La Liga, BBC reports.

This marked Cancelo's second goal in consecutive league matches, following his previous score in the 5-0 victory over Real Betis.

As is tradition for the match-winner, the Portuguese defender faced the cameras for his post-match interview, a moment that left fans bewildered.

Upon concluding his response to one of the interviewer's questions, the ex-Juventus defender made an unusual facial expression as the journalist prepared to ask him another question.

In a video shared on social l media, Cancelo's eyes widened, and he displayed his teeth in an almost demonic manner.
