Gerard Moreno opened the scoring for the visitors after 41 minutes and La Masia graduate Ilias Akhomach doubled the lead just nine minutes into the second half.

However, Xavi's side fought back and leveled matters inside eight minutes.

First with ex-Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan within the hour and then with Pedri.

And it was after the midfielder's goal that Lewandowski came face to face with Villarreal ace Eric Bailly.

The star striker and Bailly headbutted each other for a split second before the visitors' goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen ran over to separate them.

It turned out to be a much more eventful evening for the ex-United defender when he scored an own goal just three minutes later.

Gundogan delivered a sharp free-kick from the left that found Ronald Araujo who took the slightest touch, leading to a deflection for the Ivory Coast international.

However, Goncalo Guedes saved the centre-back's blush with an equalizer in the 84th minute.
