Barcelona went all out in their second UEFA Champions League match on Tuesday night, putting a staggering four goals past Young Boys and racking up the first win of their European campaign.
The carnage started early on the night when Robert Lewandowski scored a simple goal in just the eighth minute.
Raphinha doubled the lead in the 34th minute before Inigo Martinez made it 3-0 three minutes later.
Restarting play on the same note after the break, the team’s Polish striker netted a second goal to make it four for Barcelona in the 51st minute and all but sealed the victory for the team. An own goal late in the night extended the team’s margin.
Barça Universal brings you the player ratings from Barcelona 5-0 Young Boys.
Inaki Pena: 6
A silent night for the Barcelona goalkeeper who had barely any serious shots to stop. With the ball largely only in the Young Boys half, he recorded just 27 touches on the night.
Alejandro Balde: 7
A good shift from the left-back who was not as fluent as the rest of his team in the buildup but did well to stretch the defence on the flank.
Completed the game with 93% pass completion, one interception and two successful dribbles.
Played in the ball that went on to serve as an own goal that added a fifth goal for the Blaugrana.
Inigo Martinez: 10
A very special night for the Basque defender who was again undoubtedly at the top of his game defensively but also had a big role to play at the other end of the field.
Scored with a well-placed header in the 37th minute, assisted the team’s fourth goal with a header into Lewandowski’s path. Taken off early with the weekend’s game in mind.
Pau Cubarsi: 8
Delivered the quality one has come to take for granted from him at this point, Cubarsi was again phenomenal against Young Boys.
He may not have been tested extensively in defence but his ball-playing skills made him a massive asset for the team in the repeated buildups…
