WATCH: Eric Garcia brings Barcelona back level against Real Oviedo | OneFootball

Barcelona fell behind to Real Oviedo in the first half of their La Liga clash, but they have now dragged themselves level at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere.

Hansi Flick’s side were under the cosh in the early stages, but after getting through that, they could – and should – have scored. Marcus Rashford was denied twice by Oviedo goalkeeper Aaron Escandell, while Raphinha hit the post with a long-range strike.

Barcelona’s inability to score the opener cost them as Oviedo hit the front – and it was a moment that Joan Garcia will not want to see again. He came out of his box to collect a ball in behind, but after controlling it, he misplaced a pass that allowed Alberto Reina to score from 35 yards.

But 10 minutes into the second period, Barcelona are back level. A stramash in the Oviedo penalty area saw Ferran Torres’ deflected effort hit the post, but Eric Garcia was on hand to bundle the ball home.

It is not a pretty goal, but Barcelona and Hansi Flick will not care one bit. They desperately needed a way to get back on level terms, and it has come – and the plan will now be to use the momentum to complete the comeback by taking the lead.

Can Barcelona complete another comeback victory?

Barcelona came from behind on MD2 to defeat Levante 3-2, and they will now seek to defeat another newly-promoted side in the same vein. Flick has the option to bring on star striker Robert Lewandowski to help his cause, and it is almost certain that he will be introduced in the remaining minutes.

It remains to be seen whether Barcelona can get the victory, but if not, they would trail Real Madrid by four points in the early stages of the season, which would be far from ideal for the reigning champions.
