In the 7th round of the Champions League clash between Slavia Prague and Barcelona, the score leveled at 2-2 after an own goal by Robert Lewandowski.
Details: The incident occurred in the 44th minute: after a corner kick, the ball ricocheted off the Polish striker’s shoulder and flew into the Catalans’ net. This was Lewandowski’s first own goal in his career—a truly rare occurrence for a forward of his caliber.
For Barcelona, this wasn’t the first worrying moment defending set pieces—the back line once again looked shaky after a corner, giving the Czech side a chance to capitalize right before halftime.
As a result, both teams went into the break with the score tied at 2-2.
Reminder: Barcelona have conceded their 25th goal in 11 Champions League away matches under Flick’s management.
