Yang Yang received David Silva's pass on the left side just inside the halfway line.
Under Barcelona's high press, the Spanish midfielder had forced the ball to Yang Yang's feet.
He had barely stopped the ball and was just about to turn when Alves charged up from behind and quickly stuck out a foot, trying to win possession.
