Even though Lamine Yamal is absent, Barça's vaunted attack struck first through star Brazilian winger Raphinha, who cooly finished past Vicente Guaita in the 15th minute.

8 - Raphinha has scored eight goals in LaLiga 2024/25, his best tally in a single season with Barcelona in the competition and only with Leeds in the Premier League 2021/22 he managed to score more goals in a single campaign in top five European leagues (11). Inspired.

In the midst of perhaps what is the form of his life, the former Leeds United fan favorite hit his 8th league goal of the season, pulling him level with Vinícius Júnior and behind only Robert Lewandowski (14) in the goal chart.

Will the Barcelona train get back to full speed tonight?
