Raphinha completed a hat-trick in under an hour to give Barcelona a 4–1 victory over Bayern Munich in one of the most glorious nights in the Champions League for the Catalans in recent memory.
The Brazilian opened the scoring a minute into the game when he was left 1-v-1 against Manuel Neuer and calmly moved passed him to slot in the game's opening goal.
With the score at 2–1, the Brazilian received a gorgeous cross-field pass by Marc Casadó and immediately took on Raphael Guerreiro. Before arriving to the box, Raphinha cut inside to his weaker right foot and fired a shot to the far corner way out of Neuer's reach.
Early in the second half, the Catalans once again caught out the opposition in transition. Raphinha controlled Lamine Yamal's long pass and took off towards goal. The action looked very similar to his second goal, only this time instead of cutting back inside he fired a powerful low shot with his left foot that gave Neuer no chance of stopping it. It only took 56 minutes for the Brazilian to complete his hat trick.
