Luis Enrique’s side had looked disjointed and lethargic for a majority of the season, but a big win against Gijon mid-week, followed by the coach’s decision to leave at the end of the season had led many to believe, that this might be the perfect excuse for the squad to switch gears, and finally give the coach a worthy exit.

First Half:
Kick Off.
Despite the deceptive line up, the Blaugrana started with a 3-4-3 from the opening whistle. Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, and Jordi Alba formed a three-man backline that was occasionally supported by the likes of Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto.
