In the early morning of October 24, Barcelona broke their losing streak against Bayern Munich with a big win at the Nou Camp. The most outstanding player on the home team was captain Raphinha. He scored his second hat-trick of the season, contributing 3 out of 4 goals against Bayern.
In between Raphinha's goals was a strike from Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker scored but did not celebrate, and coach Hansi Flick defeated his former team 4-1.

Despite their poor head-to-head record, Barcelona still entered the match against Bayern Munich with confidence, because they were in very good form in the domestic league. The Spanish team scored very early thanks to Raphinha.
In the first minute, the Brazilian player escaped after a pass from Fermin Lopez. He dribbled the ball past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to finish into an empty net, opening the score for Barca.
In the 36th minute, Lopez completed his double assist with a cross to Robert Lewandowski. This was the situation where Kim Min-jae made a mistake when he missed the ball, allowing Lewandowski to shoot into an empty net, doubling the gap for Barca.
Lewandowski did not celebrate even though he had just scored his 700th career goal. In football history, only 7 players have reached this milestone: Josef Bican, Ferenc Puskas, Pele, Romario, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

In the remaining minutes, Raphinha completed his second hat-trick of the season, sealing victory for his team. In the 45th minute, Raphinha went straight into the middle, eliminated Dayot Upamecano and finished with his right foot. The ball went in a tricky direction, forcing Neuer to pick the ball out of the net for the third time.
In the 56th minute, Raphinha received a pass from Lamine Yamal. He used his speed to break down the left wing and then shot diagonally, successfully scoring a hat-trick against Bayern. The Barca striker joined Roy Makaay, Sergio Aguero and Cristiano Ronaldo, becoming the 4th person in history to score 3 goals against Bayern in a match.
Bayern Munich's efforts only helped them score 1 goal in the first half, thanks to striker Harry Kane. The England captain played poorly in the remaining minutes, and Bayern Munich suffered a 1-4 defeat against Barca.
After beating Bayern, Barcelona are now 10th in the 36-team standings. They have won 2 out of 3 matches and currently have 6 points. Bayern Munich dropped to 23rd place, having lost their third consecutive away match in the Champions League. In the 2024-25 season alone, they have lost 2 out of 3 matches.
