Barcelona squared off against Espanyol in the Supercopa de Catalunya on Wednesday. The fixture was a good opportunity for Barcelona to rotate considering the fact that it was a semi-friendly.
FIRST HALF
The team started excellently with Paco Alcácer missing an easy 1-on-1 against Pau López within a minute of the game. However, Espanyol had the best chance of the opening ten minutes with Cillessen being forced to make a double-save.
Barcelona dominated possession but were susceptible to the counter-attack numerous times. If it wasn’t for Cillessen, the scoreline could have looked much different.
