Although Barcelona defeated Valencia 6-0, with the Brazilian winger contributing to the resounding victory by scoring two goals, he did not start in the starting lineup, but came on as a substitute. Press reports indicated that German coach Hansi Flick's decision was disciplinary.

But after the match, the German coach came out and confirmed that his choice was purely technical and not for anything else, as many press reports had revealed.

Hansi Flick once again emphasizes the importance of discipline in his team and the importance of the team working as one.
