Barça stepped on the Lluís Companys with a game far from what the squad developed in their last two gamesagainst Betis and Royal Antwerp. A Barça disorganized, confused and conditioned by the injury of Frenkie De Jong In the first half, the Galicians conceded two goals without showing any reaction to the celestial offensives. Xavi had no choice but to take risks and opted to accumulate attacking players, a solution he resorts to in most games with the scoreline against him. It is the second comeback so far in the League Championship that the culés carry out to get the three points.

FC Barcelona is pending the evolution of Frenkie De Jong, who had to be replaced half an hour into the match with discomfort.
