The foxes lost against Paris St Germain into their last match and that’s why it was great challenge against La Liga Champion. But competitive football and world class skill of FCB, can’t give any chance to the Premier League champions last night.

Though Nigerian star Ahmed Musa’s double goal in 2nd half made the score 2 – 3 and made opportunity to fight Barcelona but that was not enough for them. Rafa Mujica’s 84 minute goal change the scenario of the match. Still now Lionel Messi can’t score any goal during this pre-season matches but assist a goal yesterday.
