When the Greek Anastasios Douvikas converted the second of the Celtic in the 76', the visitors seemed to have the victory in the pocket. However, an assistance of Joao Félix to Lewandowski in the 81' woke up to the culés, a big technical gesture of the luso, puncturing the balloon, so that the '9' resolved with a finish acrobatic that fusiló to Iván Villar. From here, the Barcelona alluvium was imparable.
The contribution of the Joaos, invaluable

The side had had his worst night since it debuted like culé, but found a space by right, previous habilitation of Ronald Araújo, to yield a 'pass of the death' to the point penalti where alone could appear a 'killer' as Lewandowski. Without losing time, the Pole finished of first with a derechazo imparable and the advantage gallaega banished in alone five minutes.
In case it was little, the same Cancel avivó, on the minute 90, to mark a diagonal to the centre of the area in front of a defence visitor totally replegada. Gavi Saw the desmarque of the player yielded by the Manchester City and put a perfect centre so that the one of Barreiro consummated the epic traced back Barcelona. Madness in Montjuïc after a very complicated day in which, to base of character and pride, was possible to give turn to a very hard result.
On the impact of the Joaos in the team, Xavi withdrew his posture to give freedom and confidence to both. "We say them that they dare, that does not matter to fail. Of the failures and of the errors learns . Probably I Cancel it has not done his best party, but has had faith, gives him the assistance to Robert, goes in of second line... They are things that, without playing well, wins a vital party for us".
