Continuing the momentum, Barcelona’s attack was relentless and they scored a third goal when Jelle Bataille unfortunately blocked Raphinha’s pass into his own net.

After the break, Gavi continued to score a fourth goal for Barca before Joao Felix showed a skillful performance in his second match for the Blaugrana by scoring a reverse header in the 66th minute.

The results showed that Barcelona topped Group H ahead of FC Porto – the team that beat Shakhtar Donetsk with a score of 3-1.
