Fermín brace inspires Barca Prague comeback.

Blaugrana Resilience Silences the Fortuna Arena

Highly Entertaining Futmetrix Score: 81/100. Barcelona’s superior technical depth and a clinical brace from Fermín eventually broke the spirit of a Slavia Praha side that threatened a major European shock.

The Prague Ambush

The atmosphere at the Fortuna Arena was electric as the hosts sought to exploit any lingering nerves in the visiting camp. The match ignited in the 10th minute when V. Kusej latched onto a precise delivery from T. Holes to stun the visitors. This early breakthrough forced Barcelona to increase their Intensity, as they began to monopolise the ball in search of an opening. Despite the early setback, the visitors controlled possession with 59%, patiently probing a disciplined Slavia defensive block. The Czech side relied on quick transitions, but the defensive leadership of Eric García ensured the damage remained minimal during a frantic opening phase where the Balance of the match seemed surprisingly delicate for the Catalan giants.

Fermín Flips the Script

The narrative shifted dramatically in an eight-minute window before the interval. In the 34th minute, Fermín found the equaliser after being set up by Frenkie de Jong, injecting fresh belief into Hansi Flick's side. The young midfielder wasn't finished, striking again in the 42nd minute following a delightful pass from Pedri to put the visitors ahead for the first time. However, the Stakes remained high as a bizarre moment of misfortune saw R. Lewandowski inadvertently turn the ball into his own net just before the whistle, courtesy of pressure from S. Chaloupek. This own goal restored parity at 2-2, ensuring the second half would begin with everything to play for in what was quickly becoming a classic encounter.

The Quality Gap Tells

The second half was a barrage of 26 shots that turned the pitch into a shooting gallery, but it was the Barcelona bench that provided the final Upset Factor. The introduction of D. Olmo proved inspired; the playmaker found the net in the 63rd minute to restore the lead. Slavia Praha fought valiantly, but the gap in quality became evident as the match progressed. To seal the victory, M. Rashford emerged from the bench to provide a perfectly weighted assist for R. Lewandowski, who redeemed his earlier error by firing home the fourth. This clinical finish ended the resistance of a weary home side, confirming a vital away win that keeps the Spanish giants firmly in the hunt for top honours this season.
