FC Barcelona beat Las Palmas 1-2 on their visit to Gran Canarias and on the last day of the first round of LaLiga EA Sports, number 19. Ferran Torres and Ilkay Gündogan were the active protagonists of the match having converted the two goals were necessary for the culé comeback, but they had to be shouted a couple of times by coach Xavi Hernández during the break since they did not seem to have understood before the match, something that did change in the second half.

And Xavi confessed that it was exactly what he told them at half-time, in the press conference he gave after the game, although we are sure that he did not use the calm tone that he used to tell it. "At half-time he told them that if we did things well we could win 1-3. We just needed to be right on the last pass. In the end it was 1-2, but we could have scored the third goal near the end of the game" , confessed Xavi very calmly after his team's agonizing victory.

One more week, Barça comes back from a game and wins by the smallest difference, while this time they did hit the table hard and took out the players they had to take out. We are talking about footballers like Robert Lewandowski or Raphinha who contributed little or nothing to the offensive. And their departures were very noticeable in the second half since the team had another dynamism and another intensity to win the match that, in the end, ended up paying off with Gündogan's penalty.
