WATCH: Raphinha, Marc Bernal and Anthony Elanga exchange early goals in Barcelona-Newcastle | OneFootball

Barcelona did not get on the scoresheet until the last kick of the game in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 clash with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. Yet it has taken them just five minutes to open the scoring in the second at Camp Nou.

Hansi Flick made just one change from the first leg, bringing Eric Garcia in for Ronald Araujo at right-back. Equally, Eddie Howe started Anthony Gordon in place of Will Osula up front in his only change from the 1-1 draw. Newcastle had the better start, getting two shots off on goal at Joan Garcia, but it was Barcelona who struck first.

Lamine Yamal feeds Raphinha for opening goal

It was with Newcastle pressing high that the opener came though. Lamine Yamal turned away from Lewis Hall in midfield, and fed Raphinha on the right side. Exchanging touches with Fermin Lopez on the outside, the Brazilian had plenty of time to pick out the bottom left corner after just six minutes, giving the Blaugrana the lead on the night and on aggregate.

Newcastle United respond within 10 minutes

It did not take long for the Newcastle response to arrive though, with Lewis Hall and Harvey Barnes combining well down the left. Anthony Elanga was picked out in behind the Barcelona defence, and his finish was perfect.

Marc Bernal restores Barcelona advantage

As good as Newcastle’s response was, Barcelona had one of their own. A set piece from Raphinha was clipped to the far post, and Gerard Martin nodded down back across the six-yard box rather than going for goal himself. Marc Bernal continued his fine goalscoring form, finishing with ease from close range.

Elanga levels before 30′ mark

Barcelona were their own worst enemy in the second goal they conceded though. Lamine Yamal gave the ball away deep in his own half, and Harvey Barnes beat Ronald Araujo to get a ball across the box. Elanga ghosted in behind Joao Cancelo for the fourth goal in 28 minutes.
