The defending champions approached the game at the Olympic Stadium knowing they had the chance to leapfrog their arch rivals after they were crushed 5-2 by Atletico on Saturday. Barca were boosted by the return of Lamine Yamal to the squad after four games out with a groin injury, but they stunningly fell behind in the 31st minute when Alvaro Odriozola turned in from point-blank range in the 31st minute."
