The Catalans again blew a lead on Saturday, seeing two goals disappear in just two minutes, but they managed to come back and beat Elche 3-2 at New Camp.
Barcelona were desperate to win and it appears as though they were in for an afternoon of smooth run early on. But this Barcelona team is far different from what we know.
The Blaugrana Began well and Ferran Jutgla had the ball in the net after a wonderful finish, only for his effort to be cancelled for offside.
Gavi then took center stage with a goal that had New Camp shaking. The talented youngster carved through Elche’s midfield before reaching the edge of the area, from where he sent a finish onto the bottom corner.
Jutgla, Ousmane Dembele and Frenkie de Jong were unable to convert the multiple chances they had.just after an hour, Elche netted twice in just two minutes, with goals from Tete Morente and Pere Mina.
But Barcelona was determined to win, substitute Nico Gonzalez scored and in less than 15 minutes of play. Gabi teed up fellow teenager to finish.
