Barcelona Extend Champions League Winning Streak with Dominant 5-2 Triumph Over Red Star Belgrade

Barcelona claimed their third consecutive Champions League victory with a commanding 5-2 win over Red Star Belgrade, maintaining their European momentum and moving up to sixth in the standings. Despite a spirited effort from the Serbian side, Barcelona's attacking strength was evident, leaving Red Star still in search of their first points after four games.

Barcelona controlled the first half, with Lautaro Martinez opening the scoring and Robert Lewandowski doubling their advantage. Red Star fought back as Silas scored before halftime, keeping the hosts within reach. However, Barcelona came out even stronger after the break. Lewandowski netted his second goal in the 53rd minute, and just two minutes later, Raphinha struck a fourth, essentially sealing the game.

Barcelona continued to press forward, with Fermin Lopez adding a fifth goal late on. Lopez was a constant threat, hitting the crossbar and forcing a fine save from goalkeeper Ilic, nearly earning himself a second goal. Red Star's persistence was rewarded in the 84th minute, as Milson curled in a consolation goal, but by then, the result was firmly in Barcelona's favor.

This win lifts Barcelona to sixth in the Champions League standings, setting them up confidently for their upcoming fixture against Brest. Red Star Belgrade, meanwhile, remain near the bottom without points and will face Stuttgart in their next European outing.
