Following a disappointing weekend where they suffered a 4-2 loss to Osasuna, the Barcelona team entered their Champions League match against Young Boys on Tuesday eager to make a statement. What unfolded was a display of stunning football, as Barcelona's offense clicked remarkably well against the Swiss team, leading to a commanding 5-0 victory.

Barcelona took an early lead just eight minutes into the match when Robert Lewandowski appeared at the back post to neatly finish off a cross-shot from Raphinha. Shortly after, Raphinha scored again, capitalizing on a blocked shot from Pedri to find the back of the net.

Pedri quickly took on the role of playmaker, delivering a superb free-kick into the box that Inigo Martinez converted with a header. Just five minutes into the second half, Barcelona broadened their advantage when Martinez connected with a corner from Raphinha, diving to head the ball back across the goal for Lewandowski, who finished it off with a simple tap-in.

The Blaugrana scored a fifth goal in the closing moments when Mohamed Camara accidentally redirected Alejandro Balde's cross into his own goal.
