The reigning Spanish champions were given several early warning shots before Iván Romero broke the deadlock with a cool finish from a counterattack on 15 minutes.

José Luis Morales doubled the hosts' lead deep into seven minutes of added time from the penalty spot after Alejandro Baldé was adjudged to have handled the ball.

But Hansi Flick's side roared back just four minutes into the second half as Pedri instigated their fightback with a sublime strike from outside the penalty area.

They were soon level when Ferran Torres met a Raphinha cross with a high-footed volley as the Blaugrana grew in confidence at the Estadi Ciutat de València.

At the beginning of added time, they completed the comeback with Unai Elgezabal heading the ball into his own net from Lamine Yamal's clever delivery.

Barça sit two points clear of Real Betis at the summit after their opening two games.
