Barcelona won at Benfica in Montjuic Stadium 3-1 and will play in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals

Hansi`s Flick qualified for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday (11/3), scoring 3 goals against Benfica. It was another dominant performance at the Estadi Olimpic Lluís Companys by the Blaugrana's boys.

Barcelona, ​​as Flick suggested in the press conference, dedicated the victory to their late doctor, Carles Minaro, who suddenly passed away. In fact, the players of both teams gathered before kick-off and held a minute's silence in his memory.


The "Blaugrana" defeated Benfica 3-1  (4-1 aggregate score) at the "Camp Nou", in a game that had an absolute protagonist: Lamine Yamal.


The 17-year-old left-footed right winger had another wonderful game, showing for the umpteenth time his great talent. In the 11th minute, Yamal made a magical run, passing several Benfica defenders as if they were stopped, giving rafinhaa ready goal, who scored 1-0.


The young Yamal himself scored a beautiful goal, with a stunning cross-footed shot in the 27th minute, while the Brazilian Rafinha scored a second goal, "sealing" the victory and qualification for his team in the 41st minute.


In between, it should be noted that Benfica had equalized with a header from their central defender and captain, Nicolás Otamendi in the 13th minute.


Now the Spanish team has qualified for the "8" of the top club competition, where they will face the winner of the Lille-Dortmund pair.


The second half, by comparison, was a more boring affair as Barcelona fought valiantly to ensure that their lead would not be compromised by a Benfica team that fought tooth and nail to keep alive the dream of qualification, which ultimately did not come...


The young team of the German, Hansi Flick with almost all of its players excellent, showed that they have returned to Europe's top football product more fiercely and aim to go as high as they can...
