  Barca's ability to capitalise on transitions paid off as their forwards left the Madrid defenders gasping for air in the first 45 minutes.  After Eric Garcia's goal, it was all Barca as Lamine Yamal delicious curler from the right found the bottom left corner to level it on the night. It was followed by a brilliant counter attacking display that saw Raphinha give the hosts the lead by slotting the ball into the bottom right corner and then adding another to his impressive tally for the season by tapping in from close range.
