Raphinha hat-trick inspires Barca to emphatic win
Barcelona captain Raphinha scored a hat-trick to lead his side to a commanding 4-1 home victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
The win for Barca at its temporary Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys home ends a near decade-long winless run against the German powerhouse.
Raphinha's inspired night started when he gave Barca the lead a little over a minute after kick-off as he received a fine pass through by midfielder Fermin Lopez, beat the offside trap and rounded the onrushing Manuel Neuer to tap into the empty net.
Harry Kane leveled the score with a volley in the 18th minute, only for Robert Lewandowski to put the home team back in front in the 36th minute against his former side after a mistake by Bayern's defence.
Raphinha then extended Barca's lead with two goals from quick counter-attacks either side of half-time.
Barca are ninth in the Champions League standings on six points from three games, while Bayern are 23rd on three points after a second consecutive defeat.
