Barcelona played in Valencia without Frenkie de Jong. The 28 -year -old midfielder – normally undisputed – was also not in the selection. It seems that De Jong has become a father for the second time. Although he and his partner Miky Kiemeney have not communicated on social media.
The visitors fell behind early. Jeremy Toljan put down the ball well for Iván Romero who tapped in in the 15th minute. José Luis Morales made the second goal after hands from Alejandro Baldé in the extra time of the first half from a penalty kick.
Shortly after the break, Pedri made the first goal for the visitors. A few minutes later, Ferran Torres took care of the equalizer. In the extra time the third goal for Barcelona fell. A cross from Lamine Yamal ended up in his own goal through the head of defender Unai Elmaarabal.
