On February 14, Beijing time, the 24th round of the 2021-22 La Liga season staged a Catalan derby, and espanyol sat at home to meet Barca, and finally the Spaniards drew 2-2 at home to Barca.

In this game, Xavi put new signings Traore and Ferran Torres into the starting lineup, while the Spaniards side of the Chinese player Wu Lei is still on the bench.

In the second minute after the start of the match, Alba picked out a pass from the left side of the penalty area, Pedri followed up with a snatch at the back point, and Barca made a fantastic start. In the 40th minute, the Spanish front court instigated a counterattack, Dadel and de Thomas hit the wall to cooperate, slightly adjusted and then got up to rub their feet into the far corner to break the goal. At half-time, the two sides drew 1-1.

In the second half, the 56th minute, Alba arced in the penalty area and shot from a distance, the ball hit De Jong and refracted, Garvey scored, but de Jong was in an offside position after VAR replay, and the goal was ultimately invalid. In the 65th minute, Dudel's long pass near the center circle, De Thomas stopped the ball and faced Ter Stegen with a single knife, the former calmly pushed the goal, and the Spaniard countered the score.

The game came to injury time and began to move into a real climax.

In the 96th minute, Traore picked up the ball from the right side of the penalty area and sent the ball into the box, and substitute Luke De Jong grabbed the penalty and Barca drew 2-2 with Espanyol.

In the Catalan derby in January 2020, the same Spaniards played Barcelona at home, and the final score between the two sides was also 2-2. For Wu Lei, who helped the team score the equaliser in the game at that time, it became the highlight of his La Liga career. Before the game, the official social media of La Liga was also reviewing Wu Lei's classic goal to promote the Catalan derby. However, now that two years have passed, Wu Lei has dropped out of the rotation of the team this season, becoming a marginal figure in the team, and has not yet scored a goal in La Liga.
