The hosts started actively, in the seventh minute they wanted a penalty after a tackle on Isi Palazon, but it was not whistled. A minute later, Unai Lopez shot, but goalkeeper Marc André ter Stegen dealt with his attempt.
In the ninth minute, Lopez made no mistake, finishing the action from the right with a ground shot. Jules Koundé came on for the visitors in the 19th minute, but the French defender only hit one of the defending players and earned a corner.
Two chances for Barcelona followed, but neither Iñigo Martinez nor Ferran Torres celebrated success with their attempts. In the 37th minute, Lamine Yamal made his first appearance, but his shot was saved by the home goalkeeper.
Barcelona went into the cabins with a rather surprising 0:1 scoreline. After the change of sides, Raphinha started actively and missed two chances. Once he shot wide and was blocked by a defending player.
Dani Olmo stepped up the pressure and then hit the crossbar. Barcelona went for the equaliser, which they managed two minutes later. At the end of the action was midfielder Pedri, who already had a relatively easy job.
And Barcelona quickly turned the tide completely, but Robert Lewandowski’s goal could not stand due to a foul. In the 82nd minute, the visiting sector was already celebrating in regulation, after a pass from Yamal and debutant Olmo got through.
In the end, Barcelona were in control, with Marc Bernal throwing away a great chance, but he didn’t have to regret it.
