Barcelona Triumphs Over Benfica in Emotional Champions League Victory

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal lead Barcelona to a 3-1 win, honoring late team doctor Carles Miñarro.

Barcelona advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Benfica, securing a 3-1 win in the second leg at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuïc.
The match began with a minute's silence and tributes to Carles Miñarro, Barcelona's first-team doctor, who passed away suddenly over the weekend.
Raphinha scored twice, bringing his Champions League tally to 11 goals this season, while 17-year-old Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to score and assist in the competition's knockout stage.
Midfielder Pedri delivered a standout performance, combining defensive contributions and creative passing, further solidifying his reputation as one of the world's best in his position.
Barcelona's dominant display under Hansi Flick positions them as strong contenders for multiple trophies this season, including LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
