In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona defeated Birmingham’s Aston Villa 3–0 at home.

Raphinha, who scored twice, and Lamine Yamal, who scored once, were the main architects of the Catalans’ victory.

Barcelona stunned the visitors at the very start of the match. In the 7th minute, Lamine Yamal capitalized on an error by the opponents as they attempted to build an attack from the back, putting Barcelona ahead (1–0).

After conceding, Aston Villa tried to respond with dangerous attacks. Unai Emery’s team created several chances but failed to convert them.

In the second half, Barcelona took complete control. In the 52nd minute, Raphinha doubled the lead when his shot deflected off an opponent and ended up in the net.

The Brazilian was not finished there. In the 64th minute, Raphinha scored his second goal after taking advantage of an excellent outside-of-the-foot pass from João Cancelo, increasing the score to 3–0.
