Barcelona Rout Newcastle 7–2 With Lewandowski Setting Champions League Records

The veteran's double set two Champions League records.

Overview

  • Barcelona advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals after a 7–2 second-leg win at Camp Nou.
  • Robert Lewandowski scored in the 56th and 61st minutes to become the oldest player to net a brace in the competition, surpassing Filippo Inzaghi’s 2010 mark.
  • Lewandowski’s goals also made Newcastle the 41st different club he has scored against in the Champions League, moving him past Lionel Messi on that list.
  • Lamine Yamal converted a first-half penalty to become the youngest player to reach 10 Champions League goals at 18 years and 350 days.
