This is when Barça played its best football and they managed to reestablish a two-goal lead thanks to Sanabria’s strike after a great play on the left from Munir and Quintillà. Five minutes later, the Moroccan-born player scored his second goal of the afternoon thanks to a good assist from Enguene.
