Los Blaugranas continued to apply pressure in the second and were rewarded, with a goal from Ansu Fati just before the final whistle. They managed to see the game out with a clean sheet and a final score of 3-0.
For Barca, Riqui Puig, Ansu Fati, Yusuf Demir, Ronald Araujo and Clement Lenglet, came on for Philippe Coutinho, Luuk De Jong, Gavi, Óscar Mingueza and Sergino Dest.
