In the 2025-2026 season, the Spanish team "Barcelona" became the fifth to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

In the Round of 16, the Catalans faced the English club "Newcastle".

The first match, held at Newcastle's home ground, ended in a draw — 1:1. The hosts, showing confident play, opened the scoring but were unable to maintain their lead, conceding a penalty in added time.

The return match took place in Barcelona on March 19. In the 6th minute, Raphinha put "Barcelona" ahead, but Elanga quickly restored parity, scoring in the 15th minute — 1:1.

Bernal once again put the Catalans ahead, but Elanga's double in the 22nd minute leveled the score again — 2:2.

Before the break, "Barcelona" earned a penalty, which was confidently converted by Yamal, making the score 3:2.

In the second half, the team significantly increased the pressure and scored three goals in 10 minutes: Lewandowski found the net twice, and Fermín added one, bringing the score to 6:2.

In the 72nd minute, Raphinha completed his double, establishing the final result of the match — 7:2.
