Xavi’s side had only one job after the goal and was, at least, maintain the current score. They did for the first half, as Manchester weren’t able to score.

However the second half was a complete different story. Erik ten Hag’s side came much more aggressive and with more rapid side changes. This really took Barca’s defense by surprise.

The ultimate game changer was when Anthony was sent into the playing field. As a result with just several minutes playing he was a key player in their first goal.
