Also A super Kubo put the culés in difficulty throughout the game. Dani Olmo entered the second half as a catalyst looking for a comeback that never came. The second match was certified lost this season by Hansi Flick’s men after the defeat suffered against Osasuna on matchday 8, where the Barça team lost 4-2 at El Sadar.
