In the “duel” against Iniesta, Barcelona was on the field with several new faces, such as young Pau Prim and Marc Guiu, a duo that is only 17 years old. Brazilian Raphinha started the game on the bench and played for the Spanish champions throughout the second half.
The winning goals were scored by Ivorian Franck Kessie and another youngster, Eric Garcia, in the first half. Pablo Torre was another standout on the pitch, providing assists for both Barcelona goals.
