LEWANDOWSKI AT THE DOUBLE AS BARCA HIT FIVE

Robert Lewandowsi bagged a brace as five-star Barcelona gave Young Boys of Bern a schooling in the Champions League.

Hansi Flick’s side had suffered a disappointing loss to Monaco in the first matchday, but responded superbly against Young Boys to get points on the board and move up the Champions League standings with an emphatic 5-0 win.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring after just eight minutes as Barcelona completely dominated, with Raphinha and Inigo Martinez adding tot the score before the break.

Young Boys created a sprinkling of chances throughout the night, but Barcelona missed plenty more opportunities of their own, sparing the visitors an even more demoralising scoreline. A second for Lewandowski on 51 minutes ended the match as a contest, sparking a string of substitutes for both sides, before an own goal by Ali Camara completed the rout.

The Swiss side have now conceded eight goals without reply in their first two matches, and face free-flowing Inter next up, while Barcelona will now look forward to a high-profile meeting with Bayern Munich on matchday three.
