Barcelona showed their attacking prowess yet again in another big Champions League win.

The Catalan club routed Red Star Belgrade 5-2 on Wednesday, marking the seventh straight match in all competitions in which they scored at least three goals. Hansi Flick’s team has averaged four goals per match in that run of victories.

Robert Lewandowski netted twice to extend his scoring streak to 15 goals in his last 10 matches with the Catalan club, while an in-form Raphinha also scored for Barcelona, taking his recent Champions League tally to eight goals in his last six appearances.

“We played very well again,” said Lewandowski, who took his tally in the competition to 99 goals. “We had the match under control and got the three points.”

After scoring his 19th goal in 16 games in all competitions with Barca this season, the 36-year-old said he was delighted with manager Hansi Flick’s aggressive approach.

“Since the beginning of the season we have had a goal: we have to play a very attacking football but without losing sight of how well our defensive line has been playing,” Lewandowski said.

“Everything that works so far is almost perfect. We have to look at what we can do better, sure, but I feel very good, the team is very happy.

“I think in this new Champions League format, winning away games is very important...

“In the first half we played a bit slow but in the second half we had a lot of chances.

“Sometimes when a team plays very defensively like Red Star today (Wednesday), we need a bit of patience. I’m always looking for free space to be able to touch a ball and score. That’s why I’m very happy. As a team we played very well.”

Barcelona lead the Champions League in goals scored with 15 in four matches.

“We knew that Barcelona were in good form before the match, winning the ‘clasico’ and scoring a lot of goals,” Red Star midfielder Timi Elsnik said.

“It was quite a challenge but we put in a good showing, especially in the first half.”

Barcelona were coming off a 3-1 La Liga win against Espanyol in the city derby last weekend, and before that they had routed rivals Real Madrid 4-0 in the Spanish league Clasico and beaten Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League.

Their previous victories included a 5-1 win against Sevilla, a 3-0 victory at Alaves and a 5-0 rout of Young Boys in the Champions League.

Manager Flick said he was pleased with his players’ focus and determination.

After a win that lifted Barca to sixth place in the 36-team Champions League table with nine points, Flick said he liked how his side got things done with the seriousness required.

“The most important thing is the three points, it’s not easy to win away from home in this competition, the Champions League is complicated,” Flick, who led Bayern Munich to the 2020 Champions League title, told Movistar Plus.

“I’m very happy, I really value what we’re doing. We’ve been very good on the ball and we’ve put a lot of pressure on.

“Red Star knew how to play with the ball and it’s difficult to defend against them. I appreciate my players being focused because it’s not easy.”

Flick said defender Pau Cubarsi is “fine” after requiring 10 stitches to close a cut on his face.

The Spaniard, 17, was forced off in the 67th minute after being caught by Uros Spajic’s studs as he headed a corner clear.
