Captain "Barcelony" Rafinha scored a hat-trick and helped his team secure a confident 4-1 victory over "Bavaria" on home turf in the Champions League round. This victory ended almost a decade-long unbeaten streak of "Barsy" against a German club.
The active match for Rafinha began with the moment he scored the first goal just a minute after the referee's whistle, receiving an excellent pass from midfielder Fermin Lopes, evading the offside trap and after bypassing Manuel Neuer sent the ball into the empty net.
Harry Kane equalized with a volley in the 18th minute, but Robert Lewandowski restored home team's lead in the 36th minute after a defensive error by "Bavaria". Rafinha extended the deficit for "Barcelony" with two goals after quick counters at the beginning and in the middle of the second half.
"Barcelona" occupies ninth place in the league table, earning six points from three matches, while "Bavaria" finds itself in 23rd place with three points after the second consecutive defeat.
