Barcelona travelled away for a UEFA Champions League clash against Slavia Prague, and the match has been proving extremely difficult. However, an unpleasant moment occurred during the second half.
Details: During the second half, Barcelona midfielder Pedri picked up an injury. In the 61st minute, the coaching staff decided to substitute the Spaniard. As later reported by The Athletic, Pedri’s injury does not look encouraging.
An incident occurred in the 44th minute: following a corner kick, the ball rebounded off Robert Lewandowski’s shoulder and ended up in Barcelona’s own net. The own goal was the first of Lewandowski’s career — a truly rare occurrence for a striker of his calibre.
Reminder: Barcelona have conceded their 25th goal in 11 away Champions League matches under the management of Flick.
