The match, in fact, was quite even, because until the 60th minute it was still 0-0 and one of the most criticized players of the season appeared: Robert Lewandowski. The Pole is not having a great season in front of goal, therefore, with this goal he has silenced a lot of criticism from his haters, since he saved Barcelona. The second goal, scored by Lamine Yamal, came in the 93rd minute, with the game already defined.
