Barcelona delivered an impressive 5-2 victory over Crvena Zvezda in their UEFA Champions League clash, showcasing attacking prowess and solid teamwork. The game opened with excitement as Crvena Zvezda initially found the net, only for VAR to rule the goal offside. Shortly after, Barcelona took the lead through an Inigo Martinez header from a Raphinha free-kick.
Crvena Zvezda equalized with a delicate chip over Barcelona’s goalkeeper, Inaki Pena, but Robert Lewandowski restored Barca’s lead just before halftime, capitalizing on a rebound after Raphinha hit the post. Lewandowski extended the lead in the second half, finishing from close range after a cross from Jules Kounde.
Kounde, the star of the night, provided three assists, including a clever setup for Raphinha’s goal to make it 4-1. Substitute Fermin Lopez added to the scoreline, converting another Kounde cross. Although Crvena Zvezda pulled one back with a stunning strike from Felicio Milson, Barcelona’s performance remained dominant.
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona looked in peak form, blending defensive solidity with dynamic attacks, as the players put on a comprehensive display that strengthens their Champions League ambitions.
