Seminggu dihapus dari langkah besar ke depan di La Liga, Barcelona kini telah mengambil langkah mundur, membutuhkan keberuntungan wanita untuk mengendalikan kerusakan. Setelah mengalahkan Atletico Madrid akhir pekan lalu untuk melompat ke empat besar dan meningkatkan peluang mereka untuk lolos ke Liga Champions UEFA, Barcelona tidak dapat membangunnya, menggambar rival sekota Espanyol pada Minggu, 2-2.
Barca telah memposisikan diri mereka dengan baik menghadapi potensi finis di empat besar, dan kemungkinan itu pasti masih ada, tetapi undian hari Minggu menunjukkan lebih banyak masalah mencolok yang dialami klub karena terus berjuang untuk menemukan identitasnya setelah kepergian Lionel Messi di musim panas. Pasukan Xavi beruntung mendapatkan sesuatu dari pertandingan ini, membutuhkan gol penyeimbang di menit-menit terakhir dari striker Luuk de Jong untuk menyelamatkan satu poin.
Barca memimpin dua menit berkat Pedri, tetapi mereka tidak melakukan banyak hal lain di sisa waktu meskipun memiliki sebagian besar penguasaan bola. Momentum mereka baru-baru ini tampaknya akan menguap sebelum pertandingan babak 32 besar Liga Europa melawan Napoli pada hari Kamis, tetapi mereka berhasil menyelamatkan sebagian dari itu.
Mantan talenta Spanyol u21 Sergi Darder mencuri perhatian untuk Espanyol, mencatatkan gol penyeimbang yang fantastis sebelum memberi umpan kepada striker Raul de Tomas dengan umpan terobosan yang indah, memperlihatkan bek tengah muda Ronald Araujo dalam prosesnya, memberi tim underdog keunggulan 2-1.
Namun umpan silang Adama Traore yang mengarah ke kepala de Jong pada menit keenam perpanjangan waktu, dengan penyelesaian akhir pemain Belanda itu meski memiliki tiga pemain bertahan di sekelilingnya.
Barca kini telah melewati delapan pertandingan liga tanpa terkalahkan, tetapi meskipun terlihat sedikit berubah arah di bawah Xavi, ini tidak menawarkan banyak hal untuk dibanggakan. Sementara tersingkirnya Copa del Rey bulan lalu dari Athletic Bilbao adalah momen yang buruk musim ini, Barca mengincar kemenangan liga ketiga berturut-turut di sini dan tampak siap berkat awal yang baik. Tetapi tim yang dapat diprediksi dengan penyerang baru yang belum terbentuk menunjukkan sekali lagi seberapa jauh mereka harus melangkah sebelum menjadi sangat andal seperti Barca di masa lalu.
Lebih buruk lagi, bek tengah Gerard Pique dikeluarkan pada waktu tambahan karena menarik rambut lawannya sebagai reaksi terhadap tantangan yang buruk.
Di atas kertas, itu adalah hasil yang buruk bagi Barca, tetapi itu adalah salah satu yang akan mereka ambil mengingat kekalahan itu tampak pasti di saat-saat terakhir.
Selanjutnya, Barca menjamu Napoli pada Kamis di Liga Europa pada Yang terpenting +.
