    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Barcelona conceded the opening goal in the 17th second of the match but came back strongly in the second half to beat Alaves 2-1 courtesy of Robert Lewandowski's brace. While the veteran striker finally found his scoring boots, he was visibly frustrated during certain periods of the match.

    One such moment saw Lewandowski expressing his anger at Yamal after the youngster went for the goal himself and missed instead of passing the ball to the Polish international. He even refused to shake Yamal's hand when he approached the senior player.
