"Lamine Yamal was somehow named in the starting lineup alongside Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres, but the teenager was thankfully replaced at halftime along with Olmo, who saw his club teammate Fermín López take his place for the second half."
"The highlight from a Barça perspective was the international debut of Joan Garcia, who came on with a half-hour to go and had somewhat of a mixed reception thanks to his controversial switch from Espanyol to Barça last summer."
"The 90 minutes were almost unwatchable with very little quality and a whole lot of fouls. Thankfully no Barça players were injured or had to play extended minutes, and they'll all return in one piece for the season's stretch run."
