"Raphinha broke the deadlock on six minutes, slotting past Aaron Ramsdale after Lewis Hall slipped at a crucial moment, gifting the Barcelona forward the time and space to finish into the bottom-left corner. Newcastle refused to be rattled. Hall made amends nine minutes later, playing a sumptuous ball in behind the Barcelona defence that Elanga gathered before clipping past Joan Garcia first time from the right of the area."
"Elanga became only the second player to score twice in a Champions League away match at Camp Nou for an English club, after Dwight Yorke for Manchester United in 1998. The game had everything, a Dan Burn goal-saving block denied Raphinha and Lewandowski in a two-on-one, Yamal blazed over from eight yards with the goal at his mercy, and Cubarsi was booked for a cynical foul on Gordon as Newcastle threatened to break."
Newcastle delivered a remarkable first-half performance against Barcelona in their Champions League last-16 second leg at Camp Nou. Anthony Elanga scored twice as Newcastle equalized the aggregate tie at 3-3. Raphinha opened the scoring for Barcelona in the sixth minute, but Lewis Hall assisted Elanga's quick response nine minutes later. Barcelona retook the lead through Marc Bernal, yet Newcastle equalized again when Elanga scored his second goal on 28 minutes. The match featured intense back-and-forth action with multiple chances for both sides. Lamine Yamal's stoppage-time penalty gave Barcelona a 4-3 aggregate advantage heading into the second half of an extraordinarily dramatic encounter.
