Witsel's crazy return against Barça

This Saturday, FC Barcelona faces Girona for the 9th day of La Liga. And Hansi Flick's men thought they had done the hardest part in this match by opening the scoring through Pedri after a nice collective number. This was without counting on the reaction of an old head of European football: Axel Witsel.

The ex-Belgium international managed to equalize with a sublime return which left the Barcelona goalkeeper no chance. Enough to put the two teams back on level terms in this meeting and completely restart the game since since then, Barça has conceded a lot of chances.
