However, Raphinha’s goal caused the champs to be immediately level. As Barcelona started to gain momentum in the match, Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty kick opportunity. After the intermission, Dani Olmo and replacement Ferran Torres reached the back of the net, to secure a hard-fought victory for Barcelona.
