Champions League Lamine Yamal and Raphinha conjure Barça into the quarter-finals

FC Barcelona are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Catalans beat Benfica 3:1, with Lamine Yamal scoring a dream goal and Raphinha bagging a brace.

FC Barcelona easily qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Benfica Lisbon. The Catalans followed up their 1-0 win in the first leg with a 3-1 victory at home.

Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi equalized in the 13th minute to make it 1-1 for the Portuguese side, who were then able to dream of an exploit until Lamine Yamal scored a dream goal (27') and Raphinha (42') made things clear again with his second goal.

Zeki Amdouni, who came on as a 56th-minute substitute, came closest to scoring a second goal for Benfica in the closing stages. The man from Geneva narrowly missed with his header.
