Trailing 2–0 at halftime, Flick made two substitutions. Marc Casadó was replaced by Gavi in a like-for-like switch at the base of midfield while Rashford made way for Dani Olmo. The Spanish playmaker trotted into a central attacking midfield role which allowed Raphinha to be restored to the left wing position which he enjoyed so much last season.

En route to picking up three points against Levante on Saturday, Barcelona played on the back foot for most of the match before overcoming a two-goal deficit in the second half to eventually post a 3-2 win by the final whistle.
