Barcelona player ratings vs Newcastle: Raphinha's red-hot week continues while Robert Lewandowski rediscovers his scoring touch as Blaugrana run riot to seal Champions League progression

Joan Garcia (6/10):

Never really stretched and could do little about either of Elanga's goals. Composed with the ball at his feet, but slight concern that he was forced off with a late injury.

Eric Garcia (4/10):

Couldn't deal with Barnes down his flank and him recklessly diving in led to Elanga's first equaliser. Seemingly injured given he was replaced midway through the first half.

Pau Cubarsi (7/10):

Just about held the Barca backline together while some of his passing through the lines was superb.

Gerard Martin (6/10):

Caught well out of position for Elanga's first goal but was otherwise pretty solid, even if he rushed a couple of clearances. Kept his composure to head into Bernal's path for the second goal.

Joao Cancelo (5/10):

Drove forward at every opportunity, though that meant he was caught out of position for both of Elanga's goals.

Pedri (7/10):

Struggled to dictate things in the first half but was much better after the break. Unsurprisingly, Barca's performance level went up once he took control of things. 

Marc Bernal (6/10):

In the right place to continue his fine recent form in front of goal. Struggled with Newcastle's press at times in midfield.

Fermin Lopez (7/10):

Flitted in and out of the games but made sure he made an impact when given the opportunity. Claimed the assist for Raphinha's opener, his superb cross led to the penalty and then showed great composure to make it 4-2 early in the second period.

Lamine Yamal (7/10):

A real mixed night. One minute he was producing a magical turn and pass to create the opening goal; the next he was giving the ball away with a backheel on the edge of own box, leading to Newcastle's second. Missed a sitter, but played his part in the move that led to him converting from the penalty spot. Excellent one-touch pass into Lewandowski's path for the sixth and some second-half skills just about made it a positive evening for the teenager.

Robert Lewandowski (7/10):

Looked very old during the first half as he wasted a couple of big chances. Picked himself up and put the bow on the tie with two quickfire goals, the second of which was a typical Lewandowski finish.

Raphinha (9/10):

The outstanding player on the night, he had a hand in each of the first five Barca goals. Showed good composure to score the first, delivered the free-kick that led to the second, won the penalty for the third and assisted each of the next two. Capped his night by scoring the seventh with ease.

Ronald Araujo (5/10):

Didn't inspire confidence at right-back and picked up a booking before half-time. More comfortable once he was moved into central defence.

Xavi Espart (6/10):

Another bright performance from the teenage full-back.

Ferran Torres (5/10):

Not much came off for the Spain forward after he replaced Lewandowski

Dani Olmo (6/10):

Showed some good touches in midfield during the final quarter of the match.

Wojciech Szczesny (N/A):

On for the injured Garcia late on.

Hansi Flick (7/10):

Defensive issues remain a concern but made the tweaks required at half-time to get over the line.
