Barcelona’s attack continues and the Catalan club claims another big victory in the Champions League

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona once again demonstrated its attacking prowess with another big win in the Champions League.

The Catalan club defeated Red Star Belgrade 5-2 on Wednesday, marking the seventh consecutive game in all competitions in which they scored at least three goals. Hansi Flick’s team scored an average of four goals per game during this winning streak.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice in his last 10 games for the Catalan club, extending his goalscoring streak to 15 goals, while the in-form Raphinha also scored for Barcelona, ​​taking his recent Champions League tally to eight goals in his last six appearances.

“We played very well again today,” said Lewandowski, who increased his tally in the competition to 99 goals. “We had the game under control and got the three points.”

Barcelona leads the Champions League with 15 goals scored in four games.

“We knew before the game that Barcelona were in good form, won the ‘Clasico’ and scored a lot of goals,” said Red Star midfielder Timi Elsnik. “It was quite a challenge but we performed well, especially in the first half.”

Barcelona won the Spanish league 3-1 in the city derby against Espanyol last weekend, having previously beaten rivals Real Madrid 4-0 in the Spanish league’s Clasico and Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League beaten.

His previous wins included a 5-1 win against Sevilla, a 3-0 win at Alaves and a 5-0 win against Young Boys in the Champions League.
