The line is perfect again

Benfica fell into another offside trap after a long play. The penalty was called at the end of the play.

Rest and ovation for Lamine

Montjuïc falls to bid him farewell. De Jong also leaves. Fermín and Casadó enter.

Renato, great play and horrible finish

He easily outpaced Gavi and completed two cuts in front of the goal, but his left-footed shot went sky-high.

Íñigo fixes his mistake

Benfica came with danger, but the center back threw himself to the ground to stop a clear chance from Dahl.

Íñigo Martínez apologizes

The center back made one of his team's few errors in the ball out and apologized to his teammates.

Ferran, tall

His free kick didn't come down in time and Trubin took a goal kick.

Otamendi, desperate

He committed a foul on Ferran , but the Argentine protested bitterly.

Belloti also falls into the trap

Just like Pavlidis throughout the match, the Italian now finds himself offside. The Barça defense is very accurate.

There are also two changes in Benfica

Florentino and Kökçü leave their places to Belloti and Barreiro.

Flick's first changes

Ferran and Gavi replace Lewandowski and Dani Olmo.

There is no truce

From box to box. Moments after De Jong's shot, Pavlidis had another chance. He was very forced and did not worry Szczesny.

Pure tiki-taka!

A wonderful play by Barça, with several backheels, started and finished by De Jong , who is having a great second half. The fourth goal was just around the corner.

Iñigo does not give an option

Aursnes made a run into the gap, but the centre-back anticipated him and bounced the ball over him.

Standing ovation for Dani Olmo

He made a great turn to get out of the pressure when he seemed surrounded and with no escape.

Pavlidis, permanently out of the game

He is constantly falling into the trap of the Catalans and has already been offside three times, and not by centimetres.

It's a siege!

The one-two between Olmo and Lamine was very close to being completed in the area, but Trubin came out to stop the former's shot.

Another approach from the Catalans...

De Jong made a powerful start , opening up to Raphinha . The Brazilian put the ball in at the far post, but Lewandowski didn't reach it .

Bruno Lage's first changes

Amdouni and Renato Sanches replace Schjelderup and Aktürkoglu.

Otamendi stops Lamine

He tried to filter a pass that seemed impossible and it was. Good cut from the veteran center.

Lamine was looking to repeat his goal

Same action as in the goal, but with more power. The shot went high.

Raphinha, too creative

He tried a difficult backheel shot that didn't reach its destination, but the Blaugrana team recovered immediately.

Goal disallowed for Benfica!

Aursnes scored, but Pavlidis, who made the pass, was out of play.

Araújo scores almost right!

He came in like a plane to take advantage of Lewandowski 's extra time , but his header hit the side netting.

António Silva cautioned

The centre-back arrived too late and left a message for Raphinha without being able to reach the ball.

Everything remains as it ended

Control by the Catalans, who threaten near the area of ​​a Benfica that cannot get out.

Here comes the second part!!

Otamendi looked for a long ball to start, which was recovered by Barça.

Rest in Montjuïc!!

Barcelona seems to have one foot in the quarterfinals.

Dani Olmo also wants his space

He tried to finish off after dribbling off a tile, but the Portuguese defence closed the small gap that he had.

Three more minutes will be played

Barcelona continue to move the ball calmly.

Goal by Raphinha!!

The VAR contradicts the linesman and the Brazilian's goal is added to the scoreboard.

With suspense...tranquility

Three goals ahead thanks to a goal from Raphinha, who is still in top form and once again produced a spectacular finish. Otamendi 's yellow card is cancelled as the advantage rule applies.

Yellow card for Otamendi

While the review continued, the Argentine saw the card.

Goooal disallowed to Raphinha!

The Brazilian scored with a great cross shot, but the linesman raised the flag and a prior foul was called.

Lewandowski had it!!

He was left alone in the area, but his shot was very focused.

Raphinha wants more

He tried to get power on a shot from the edge of the box, but it went high.

Pavlidis hits the crossbar!

His shot shook Montjuïc, but he was clearly ahead at the time of the pass.

Benfica tries to recover

Just as he managed to create problems after the first goal, he is suffering after the second and can barely get out of his own half.

Barcelona remains very serious

Raphinha attempted a low cross from the left flank, but it was cleared wide.

Barça asks for a card

Kökçü arrived late and hit Pedri, but the referee only called a foul.

The flares are back

Just like in the first leg, the Portuguese fans once again set off fireworks in their area.

Lamine, unstoppable

Benfica needed four players to arrive to stop the Barça pearl, who came out strong in the race.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great from Lamine Yamal!!!

But what did you do? He received the rebound after the foul, went from outside to inside and placed it in the top corner.

Lamine is a magician

Tomás Araújo asked his teammates for help as if he knew what was going to happen after being dribbled past. He reached the central area after two dribbles and put it in the far corner, impossible for Trubin.

Raphinha extracts oil

The Brazilian was trapped on the left wing, but he kept the ball well and took a lateral free kick that could be very dangerous.

Lamine is scared!!

He set up his leg from far away and the ball went just wide of the post. He is very active.

Brave exit from Trubin

He came out just in time to avoid Raphinha's shot, which ended up hitting him with his knee unintentionally.

Barça takes command

After the Portuguese goal, the Catalans are dominating the game and are not losing possession.

Lamine was looking for another assist!

He passed the ball to Lewandowski in the area with his right foot, and he started late to push it in.

The game is back on and Benfica is playing
