Barcelona are off and running in the 2022-23 Champions League and are top of group C thanks to a dominant 5-1 win over Viktoria Plzen at the Spotify Camp Nou in the group stage opener on Wednesday night. The Blaugrana played a brilliant offensive game from start to finish, thoroughly dominated the Czech champions, scored some beautiful goals and took all three points. Oh, and Robert Lewandowski got his first Champions League hat-trick for Barça. Not a bad night.
FIRST HALF
Barça’s first half performance was about as dominant and in control as the fans could have hoped to watch.
