Memphis scored a beautiful goal to double Barcelona’s lead in the 41st minute while Lewandowski got his second from the get-go in the final part, jumping inside the area after Memphis had contended energetically to win back the ball.

“It was an important win. Elche were very defensive at the start with five at the back, but we also lost the ball too much.

“In the end, it was a slightly more easier game than we expected. It would have been more complicated against 11. After the red card it becomes more positional. We enjoyed outselves in the second half.”, Barcelona coach Xavi said.
