In a game that was much tighter than many may have predicted, Barcelona managed to overturn a one-goal disadvantage to defeat Real Oviedo 3–1 on Thursday night.
Playing away in La Liga for the first time since August, Barcelona were looking to remain undefeated in 2024–25. Despite a number of significant injuries that include players such as Lamine Yamal, Fermín López and Alejandro Balde, Hansi Flick still opted to further rotate his side, resting Jules Koundé, Frenkie de Jong and Robert Lewandowski.
