Catalans quickly took possession of the initiative. However, the hosts failed to score before the break. The most real possibilities have lost Rafina and Gavi. The first did not hit the target from a sharp angle, and the second failed to beat Ciper from the semicircle of the penalty area.

In the second half, Bars added in pressure. The most active in Blaugranas was Yamal. However, he opened an account with Lewandowski - the Polish forward closed the distant bar after the departure of the teammate.

Barcelona continued to control the course of events, but the hosts could not develop success. Nevertheless, the minimum victory allowed the Catalans to get closer to the Madrid groups.

The distance to Atletico was reduced to three points, and to Real Madrid to four.
