Raphinha strikes to give 10-man Barcelona last-16 edge over Benfica | Champions League Raphinha struck a second-half winner to give Barcelona a lion-hearted 1-0 victory at Benfica on Wednesday as they overcame a red card for Pau Cubarsí early in the game to steal an advantage in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. Barcelona’s teenage defender Cubarsí was given a straight red card for a last-man foul on Vangelis Pavlidis in the 22nd minute, but the visitors hung on with goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny putting in a brilliant performance. The Polish veteran pulled off a string of brilliant saves to keep Barça in the game and his effort was rewarded in the 61st minute when Raphinha pounced on a poor defensive pass across the Benfica box. He then capitalised on the mistake, firing a low strike that deflected off a defender before going in just inside the left post. Source link Posted: 2025-03-05 23:46:09 |
