Lewandowski Header Completes Barcelona’s 3-1 Comeback at Oviedo

Flick signaled patience on Raphinha after a win he credited to decisive substitutions.

Overview

  • Barcelona overturned a 1-0 deficit as Eric Garcia equalised on 56 minutes before substitutes Robert Lewandowski (70') and Ronald Araujo (88') secured the points.
  • Alberto Reina put Oviedo ahead by lobbing into an unguarded net after goalkeeper Joan Garcia misjudged a sweeping action in the 33rd minute.
  • Hansi Flick defended Garcia’s error as a consequence of the team’s possession style and praised the influence of Frenkie de Jong and Lewandowski off the bench.
  • The result keeps Barcelona unbeaten and second in LaLiga on 16 points from six games, two behind leaders Real Madrid.
  • Raphinha left with leg discomfort after 65 minutes; initial scans reportedly ruled out a hamstring injury, with further assessment due Friday and his short-term availability unresolved.
