Barcelona played host to Elche in the Joan Gamper Trophy match and they took the lead very early on. The first Barca goal did not take long to come and it was in the second minute. 

Ansu Fati was back, but the young striker did not participate in the move this time. Leo Messi played a long pass into space for Jordi Alba from midfield and he caught the Elche defence by surprise. 

Alba got on the ball and drove forward, he reached the by-line and then passed to Griezmann when he saw the Frenchman had got away from his marker. 

Griezmann received the ball and he fired past Edgar Badia from point blank range. The keeper had no chance.
