Barcelona entertained Newcastle United at the Nou Camp earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a positive result at home in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie. The Catalan club made a quick start to the game and scored the opener in the sixth-minute thanks to Raphinha’s effort. However, Anthony Elanga equalised for the visitors in the 15th minute. Marc Bernal restored Barca’s lead just three minutes later, which was cancelled out by another goal from Elanga in the 28th minute. Lamine Yamal gave Barcelona the lead once again in the first half injury-time. Hansi Flick’s men went into the half-time break 3-2 up on the scoreline.
Fermin Lopez got his name on the scoresheet in the 51st minute before Robert Lewandowski scored a quick-fire brace for Barcelona. Raphinha added another goal in the 72nd minute as the Catalan giants ended up securing a 7-2 win on the night (8-3 on aggregate).
