Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock in the 29th minute after a Rashford shot was blocked. El Desmarque, referencing the side's sluggish opening, lauded both Rashford and Yamal for rousing Barca "from their siesta". Meanwhile, Barca Blaugranes suggested the Catalan giants stirred into life "thanks in large part to Marcus Rashford, who was the brightest and most active of the Blaugrana attackers".
