In the seventh round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona faced Benfica in an away fixture. The match turned into a thrilling goal fest, ending in a dramatic 5-4 blaugranas victory!

• Benfica's forward Pavlidis scores the third fastest hat-trick in UEFA Champions League history

By the 30th minute, the Blaugranas were trailing 1-3 as Benfica’s forward Vangelis Pavlidis netted a hat-trick past Wojciech Szczęsny. By the 68th minute, the Catalans were down 2-4.

However, Barcelona refused to give up and managed to claw their way back into the game. A significant part of the comeback was due to Robert Lewandowski, who converted two penalties.
