It was the 39th minute of Saturday's match of the 16th round of La Liga: Real Betis – FC Barcelona. It was then that the guests, who had been playing poorly so far, played one of the most beautiful actions of the match. After exchanging as many as 27 passes (This is the club's best result in almost four years), Robert Lewandowski successfully completed the action and Jules Kounde's pass and scored a goal to make it 1-0. However, it did not result in victory, because FC Barcelona only drew 2-2. In the 64th minute, Giovani Lo Celso equalized the score from a penalty kick to make it 1-1. Then the guests took the lead again after Ferran Torres scored in the 82nd minute, but Assane Diao equalized the score in the 94th minute.
