However, late strike from Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati and Abde Rzzolzouli turned the tide around and secured Xavi’s men victory in the Joan Gamper trophy.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring early on, but successive strikes Oliver Skipp gave Spurs the lead going into half-time.
Barcelona didn’t bow down and kept the pressure going and deservedly equalized in the 80th minute through Torres.
From then on, Tottenham’s defense collapsed and Fati and Ezzolzouli took full advantage to salvage victory for the Catalans.
The London team were without their star man Harry Kane amidst his ongoing transfer saga. And that was felt as Tottenham were disorganized up front and lacked creativity.
