"Copenhagen stunned the Camp Nou into silence in the fourth minute when Mohamed Elyounoussi slipped in Viktor Dadason, who coolly slotted past Joan Garcia. Lewandowski came close to restoring parity six minutes later after capitalising on a mistake from Junnosuke Suzuki, but he was unable to find a way past Dominik Kotarski. However, Barcelona were frustrated in the first half and unable to find a way past their opponents, but they needed just three minutes after the break to haul themselves level."
"They have now trailed at the break in four of their last five Champions League matches, more often than they did in their first 17 matches in the competition under Flick (three). However, the Catalans have won more points from losing positions than any other side in the current edition (10), and their turnaround was led by superstar Yamal. Indeed, Yamal has now assisted eight goals for Barcelon"
Barcelona recovered from an early Copenhagen goal to win 4-1 and qualify for the Champions League last 16. Copenhagen scored in the fourth minute through Viktor Dadason after Mohamed Elyounoussi’s pass. Barcelona levelled three minutes into the second half when Dani Olmo’s defence-splitting pass found Lamine Yamal, who squared for Robert Lewandowski to score. Yamal then benefited from a deflection to put Barcelona ahead on the hour. Raphinha converted a penalty after Lewandowski was fouled and Marcus Rashford added a late free-kick. Barcelona have earned more points from losing positions than any other side in the competition and Yamal has provided eight assists.
