An own goal from Jack Hunt and a second half strike from Randy Nteka meant that the Owls fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the La Liga outfit – who happened to do a double over Barcelona last season – but there were plenty of positives to take from the evening at S6.
Darren Moore rang the changes, given Will Vaulks his first start, as Wednesdayites got their first look at the new home kit, and there were loads of substitutes throughout the tie with the Owls boss using the time he’s got left to prepare for the 2022/23 campaign.
Here are our ratings from a pleasant evening at Hillsborough.
17. Cameron Dawson - 7
Barely had anything to do after coming on in the second half, but did make one good low save at his near post. Got a nice ovation on his Hillsborough return. Photo: George Wood
18. Late subs - N/A
