After a disappointing end to 2024, Barcelona needed to start 2025 well to get things back on track. It is almost certain that they will, as they have scored the third of the afternoon against Barbastro.
It was Eric García who opened the scoring for Hansi Flick’s team, before Robert Lewandowski added the second 10 minutes later. Now, Barcelona’s third comes less than 120 seconds into the second half, and it was once again the work of the Polish striker.

It is a somewhat fortuitous goal for Barcelona, since the ball gets in Lewandowski’s way after a rebound, although it is a prolific shot by the veteran who is starting 2025 in a good way.
Barcelona needed the game to go like this to gain confidence, so it will be very pleasant for Flick. He hopes his team can get through this without injury problems before next week’s trip to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup.
