Barcelona were beaten 1-0 by Girona in the Supercopa de Catalunya on Wednesday thanks to Cristhian Stuani’s second-half penalty.
Ernesto Valverde named a pretty interesting line-up and gave first-team debuts to Moussa Wague and Jean-Clair Todibo, while youngsters Riqui Puig, Juan Miranda and Alex Collado all started the game.
Todibo started off in midfield and had some nice moments in the first half as he finally saw some action for the first time since November. He was also guilty of a few loose touches but that’s hardly surprising given his lack of competitive football.
Malcom came the closest to opening the scoring for Barcelona in a goalless first half with an effort that was saved by Gorka Iraizoz.
