Barcelona got off to a losing start on Tuesday in the UEFA Youth League as they were beaten 2-1 by Borussia Dortmund in Germany. 

Victor Valdes' side made a great start, taking the lead after just two minutes when Brazilian defender Igor Gomes headed home Nils' cross. 

Nils and Konrad de la Fuente both had chances to double the Catalan's lead in the first half but Barça were made to pay for missing their opportunities. 

Valdes, perhaps sensing how the game was changing, made three early changes but that didn't stop the home side coming back to earn the three points. 

 

Reyna leveled the scores up and Raschi scored the winner from the penalty spot in the 70th minute. Next up for Barça is Inter in a couple of weeks.
