Barcelona dealt with arch-rivals Bayern Munich by beating them 4-1 at home in the third round of the Champions League group stage.
It was sweet revenge for the Catalans after the humiliating 2:8 against the Germans a few seasons ago in the same tournament.
Things have turned around, thanks to ex-Bayern coach Hanzi Flick, who has turned Barcelona into a different animal, currently leaders in La Liga and, as of today, a terror in Europe.
The other main credit today went to the Brazilian Rafinha, who scored a phenomenal hat-trick, and a goal was added by another ex-Bavarian in the person of Robert Lewandowski. For Bayern, it was the usual suspect Harry Kane who got the goal, making it 1-1.
With their victory, Barca collected an asset of six points, after losing to Monaco and beating Young Boys in their previous matches. Bayern in a more difficult situation, because it remains with only three points, achieved in the defeat with 9:2 over Dinamo Zagreb. The next match was a loss to Aston Villa. The corrective for Vincent Kompany’s team will be hosting Benfica in the next round.
Liverpool now have three consecutive wins in the SHL, beating RB Leipzig 1:0 away tonight. New Reds boss Arne Slott’s fantastic run continues with his side now on 11 wins from 12 games in all competitions. Darwin Nunez scored the goal in the 27th minute and Liverpool are 9 points clear at the top of the table after the third round.
Results: Brest – Leverkusen 1:1, Atletico M – Lille 1:3, Benfica – Feyenoord 1:3, Manchester City – Sparta Prague 5:0, RB Salzlurg – Dinamo Zagreb 0:2, Young Boys – Inter 0:1, Barcelona – Bayern 4:1, RB Leipzig – Liverpool 0:1
