In a dazzling display, FC Barcelona routed Newcastle United 7-2, ensuring their progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. The match took place at the electrifying Camp Nou, where Barcelona showcased their offensive prowess from the outset. Raphinha opened the scoring just six minutes into the game, with further goals from Marc Bernal, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, and Robert Lewandowski, who netted two goals in quick succession, demonstrating Barcelona's dominance.
