Raphinha equals Messi record as Barca thrash Dortmund

Raphinha matched Lionel Messi's club record for most goal involvements in a single Champions League campaign, contributing a goal and two assists in Barcelona’s dominant 4-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.

The Brazilian forward reached 19 goal involvements this season, matching Messi’s feat from 2011-12.

Barcelona were clinical in the first half, with Raphinha’s goal giving them a deserved lead, followed by Lewandowski’s brace and Yamal’s strike after the break.

Despite Dortmund’s possession dominance, they struggled with Barcelona’s high press, with Guirassy and Adeyemi unable to capitalize.

Barcelona’s lethal counter-attacks secured the win, with substitute Araujo’s defensive heroics ensuring a comfortable four-goal advantage. Barcelona head to Germany for the second leg with one foot firmly in the semi-finals.
