Leo Messi looked rusty coming from the international break as Ousmane Dembele saved the day with a late goal. Valladolid came out and almost scored in the first ten minutes, but a great defensive game from Lengelet helped stop their attack. Griezmann was unable to convert on a header in the second half, and was soon replaced by Braithwaite. A red card on Jordi Alba helped reduce Valladolid to 10 men, leading to the great Dembele goal in the 89th minute.
