Barcelona responded in the 43rd minute when Marcus Rashford’s corner found Kounde, who headed home the equaliser before halftime.

The winning goal came in the 58th minute, shortly after substitute Lamine Yamal entered the field.

Both teams came close to scoring again, with shots from Kubo and Lewandowski hitting the woodwork, but the scoreline remained 2-1.

Coach Hansi Flick praised the team’s effort, calling it “a team victory” and highlighting their disciplined performance. Barcelona now prepares for a crucial Champions League clash against Paris St Germain before returning to LaLiga action against Sevilla.
