Barcelona tore apart Newcastle in a thrilling 7-2 win Wednesday to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals and extend Spanish clubs' dominance over England this month.
Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski each scored twice and Fermín López finished a slick, scything move as Barcelona surged in the second half after the teams went toe-to-toe before the break.
Tied at 1-1 after the first leg in Newcastle, Barcelona went ahead twice in the first 20 minutes and twice Newcastle soon leveled with rare goals from Anthony Elanga . The Sweden winger had not scored in 35 previous games this season in the Premier League or Champions League yet struck twice in a 13-minute spell at Camp Nou.
Lamine Yamal scored a penalty
Momentum swung when Lamine Yamal scored a penalty with the last kick of the half to give Barcelona a lead at 3-2 it would not give up again. Last week, the 18-year-old Yamal's penalty deep in stoppage time denied Newcastle a first-leg win.
La Liga again topped the Premier League one day after Real Madrid won 2-1 at Manchester City to complete a 5-1 aggregate score. In Madrid, captain Fede Valverde's first-half hat trick had swatted Man City aside.
