The star player Barcelona couldn't register due to Jules Kounde has finally made his debut and he shone.
Barca registered Kounde at the expense of Pablo Torre, who signed for the club from Racing Santander during the summer transfer window.
Torre has been registered with Barcelona Atletic, popularly known as Barcelona B to ensure Kounde's availability for the first team.

Speaking after the game, Torre dismissed speculation that he isn't keen on the idea of playing for Barca Atletic.
"I am a Barca player and I will play wherever they tell me, I am willing to play with the reserve team when necessary and I will work to play for the first team," he said.
"Despite the lack of training, I worked well during the week and ended up a little tired, but happy with the victory and with the debut at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.
"Marquez told me to do what they ask me in the first team. Find the squares, play easily, play forward when you can... There are things to improve, but I’m happy."
