Barcelona Breeze Past Crvena zvezda in Belgrade

Looking to extend their winning run across all competitions to seven straight matches, Hansi Flick and his Barcelona side headed to Belgrade to take on Crvena zvezda in the Champions League on Wednesday.

La Blaugrana, who are nine points clear at the top of La Liga, got off to a perfect start in the Serbian capital, as central defender Inigo Martinez headed home past Marko Ilic from Raphinha’s crossed free-kick.

Silas Mvumpa drew the hosts level just 14 minutes later however, breaking in behind the Barcelona defence before delivering a dinked finish over the onrushing Inaki Pena.

Thankfully for the visitors, it didn’t take long for their top scorer to get in on the act. Robert Lewandowski was in the right place at the right time to restore Barca’s lead, tapping into an empty net after Raphinha’s shot rattled off the post.

Less than eight minutes into the second period, Lewandowski turned home his second of the evening from Jules Kounde’s cross, taking his career Champions League goal tally to 99 and his tally for the campaign to 19.

Two minutes later, Raphinha finally got his goal, beautifully slotting into the bottom corner from another Kounde cross, and the Frenchman provided another assist for Fermin Lopez to make it 5-1 20 minutes after that.

Crvena zvezda struck back in the 84th minute through Milson to make it 5-2, but the damage was already done, with Barcelona claiming a third successive league phase victory to move up to sixth place in the table.
