Alves initially goes for a long-range strike from outside the box, which is dealt with unconvincingly by Rulli.

Barcelona slumped to a lacklustre 2-0 defeat to Villarreal on Sunday at Camp Nou in their final match of the 2021-22 season, with Unai Emery's side securing a spot in the Europa Conference League off the back of the victory.
