Players Rating: Barcelona vs Bayern Munich

Barcelona defeated Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League, with Raphinha scoring an incredible hat-trick to lead the way. Barcelona defeated the Bundesliga powerhouses for the first time in almost nine years, and the outcome will probably have an impact on the rest of Europe.

Below is a summary of each player’s performance:

Hansi Flick – 9/10

The former coach of Bayern Munich created a strategy that was almost faultless and made excellent use of Barcelona’s speed and counterattacking ability. In a game against his old club that held personal meaning for him, Flick’s team was unrelenting on the break and he couldn’t have asked for a greater showing.

Fermin Lopez – 7/10

Lopez had a key role in Barcelona’s first goal, deftly beating Manuel Neuer to the ball to provide Robert Lewandowski with an incredible assist. He put in an outstanding amount of work during the game, and after an all-out effort, he was substituted out after sixty minutes.

Lamine Yamal – 8/10

In the first half, the young sensation pressured Neuer and blocked a clearance to come close to scoring. With his dexterity and movement, Yamal demonstrated his inventiveness, and he was a great helper on Raphinha’s hat-trick goal. An interesting and dynamic performance.

Raphinha – 9.5/10

Raphinha was the night’s star and a true standout. While his second goal was a spectacular curling attempt into the corner, his first goal was composed as he circled Neuer. He demonstrated his exceptional technical skill by scoring a third goal to end the evening. The Brazilian, who was absolutely unbeatable, gave a flawless performance.
