**Belgrade, Serbia:** FC Barcelona secured a convincing 5-2 victory over Crvena Zvezda in their Champions League clash, showcasing their dominance with a performance that saw them score four or more goals for the third consecutive game in the competition.
The Catalans took an early lead through Iñigo Martinez, but Crvena Zvezda quickly equalized through Silas. However, Robert Lewandowski’s opportunistic finish and Raphinha’s powerful strike put Barcelona back in control before the break.
The second half saw a relentless Barcelona, with Lewandowski adding a second goal and Raphinha netting another, putting the game beyond reach. Jules Kounde provided a masterclass in assists, setting up three goals for his teammates, including a brilliant finish by substitute Fermín Lopez.
Lewandowski, now just one goal away from becoming the third player to reach 100 goals in the Champions League, continues to be a force in the competition.
The victory puts Barcelona in the top eight positions of the Champions League table at the halfway stage. They now turn their attention to their La Liga clash against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
