Barca crushed Bayern 4-1 in the match at the Olympic Stadium in the third round of the Champions League qualifying round. Of course, there is no doubt because Raphinha is the brightest star.
Raphinha has spread terror to Bayern
Against Bayern , Raphinha continued his devastating form this season with a superb hat-trick. To see how good this winger is, look at his opening goal in the first minute.
Raphinha charged down like a Formula 1 car, confidently dancing with his magical left foot, dribbling past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and finishing into an empty net. Everything happened perfectly. With what he showed, Raphinha deserved a score of 10.
Besides Raphinha, Barca also had two other players who played very well against Bayern, namely the prodigy Lamine Yamal and midfielder Fermin Lopez. Yamal, as usual, was extremely active on the right wing, leaving Alphonso Davies with almost no time to breathe.
Raphinha won the best player award
Yamal had a beautiful pass that tore apart Bayern’s defense for Raphinha to run down and finish diagonally, sealing a 4-1 victory for Barca. Meanwhile, Fermin, in his first start under coach Hansi Flick, had an explosive performance with two assists, contributing to the home team’s resounding victory.
If Raphinha had a memorable match day, on the other side of the front line, Neuer experienced a “horrible haunting” night. The German goalkeeper did not play well and had to pick the ball out of the net 4 times, including situations where, with his class, Neuer could have done better.
Joshua Kimmich was also a disappointing name for Bayern, when he himself made a mistake that led to a goal for his team. Harry Kane was perhaps the rare bright spot for the Gray Tigers with 1 goal in this match.
