Records were broken at the Camp Nou as Barcelona stormed to a 7-2 victory against Newcastle United in their Champions League second leg encounter.
The two legs were a total contrast, as Barcelona got lucky in the first leg, courtesy of a second-half stoppage-time penalty, which helped them to a 1-1 draw.
Lamine Yamal ran riot with his dribbling skills, scoring a late first-half penalty (45+7'). Raphinha scored a brace (6', 72'), and so did Robert Lewandowski (56', 61').
Young defensive midfielder Marc Bernal (18') and Fermin Lopez (51') also added a goal each.
Lewandowski's brace made him the oldest player to score two goals in the Champions League, taking him to 108 UCL goals, and is only behind Lionel Messi (129) and Cristiano Ronaldo (140) in the all-time competition rankings.
Lamine Yamal (18 years and 248 days), on the other hand, became the youngest player to score 10 goals in Champions League history, overtaking Kylian Mbappe's previous record from 2017 (18 years, 250 days).
