Lewandowski and Raphinha make Barcelona's 'machine' unstoppable, coach Hansi Flick still regrets Yamal

Despite being a guest, Barcelona is considered to be superior to the home team Red Star Belgrade. The Spanish representative is currently on a 6-match winning streak in all competitions and is also the team with the strongest attack in Europe at the moment. Notably, in the two most recent big matches against Bayern Munich (October 24) and Real Madrid (October 27), Barcelona scored 7 goals. In La Liga alone, Barcelona has scored 40 goals since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, equal to the total number of goals scored by Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid combined.

With those scary statistics, Marca (Spain) assessed that coach Hansi Flick's team is now no different from a "machine", ready to swallow any opponent.

As expected, Barcelona dominated the game, holding the ball for 75% of the time and scoring 5 goals against Red Star Belgrade after 90 minutes. Lewandowski was still the most outstanding player with two goals in the 43rd and 53rd minutes. The double against Red Star Belgrade also helped the Polish striker rise to 3rd place in the Champions League top scorer list with 5 goals, 1 goal behind the leading player Jonathan David (Lille). At the same time, the Barcelona striker has scored 18 goals since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season.

Playing alongside Lewandowski, Raphinha also found the net in the 55th minute. In addition, the Brazilian striker also had 1 assist in this match. The remaining two goals of Barcelona were made by Iñigo Martínez (minute 13) and Fermin Lopez (minute 76). Meanwhile, Silas and Milson were the 2 players who helped the home team Red Star Belgrade have 2 honorary goals.

Barcelona won easily again

Barcelona beat Red Star 5-2 to move up to 6th place with 9 points from 4 matches. They are the only Spanish team in the top 8. The Catalan giants have won 7 consecutive matches in all competitions and are now 3 points behind Champions League leaders Liverpool.

Coach Hansi Flick commented: “Red Star are a team with a strong attack, it was difficult for Barcelona to keep a clean sheet. However, we played well and focused throughout the 90 minutes. To do this is not easy, so I feel very happy.

I appreciate what the Barcelona players did. The whole team kept pressing the pitch, attacking and not giving the opponent space to play the ball."

Coach Hansi Flick highly appreciated the performance of the players

Notably, in this match, coach Hansi Flick let Lamine Yamal play the full 90 minutes. However, the young Spanish player played below his best, not contributing any goals or assists. However, the German coach still consoled Lamine Yamal.

He said: "I feel quite sorry for Lamine Yamal. Although he did not score, what he showed helped our attack a lot. The important thing is that Barcelona got 3 points. More importantly, this victory came when Barcelona had to play away in the Champions League."

Barcelona is the only Spanish representative in the top 8 after 4 rounds.
