Champions League: Barcelona 5, Viktoria Plzen 1

Barcelona are on the top of Group C in 2022-23 Champions League, thanks to a domineering 5-1 win over Viktoria Plzen at the Spotify Camp Nou in the group stage opener. The Blaugrana played an end-to-end thrashing attacking offensive game, making sure to not loosen the grip over the Czech champions at any given moment, and also shot some fantastic goals and snatched all three points. Also, Robert Lewandowski accomplished his first Champions League hat-trick for Barça. 

Just as it felt that the game is nearing the interval with a 2-0 scoreline, Lewandowski struck an effortless header at the far post assisted by Dembélé to restore the hosts’ two-goal lead. At halftime, Barça were deservedly ahead by a considerable margin. Lewandowski saw his first Champions League hat-trick for Barça when he was assisted by Ferran Torres and shot a brilliant goal into the bottom corner to make it 4-1, and Ferran proved his substitute cameo with a sensational goal too.
