Raphinha scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Barcelona pulled off a thrilling 5-4 comeback victory over Benfica on Tuesday, securing their place in the Champions League last 16.
Trailing 4-2 with less than 15 minutes to play, Barcelona launched a remarkable late surge to snatch all three points and remain just three behind group leaders Liverpool.
Benfica’s Vangelis Pavlidis netted a first-half hat-trick, capitalizing on two costly mistakes by Barça goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
But Barcelona responded with two penalties converted by Robert Lewandowski, a header from Eric Garcia, and a Raphinha did an unforgettable night in Lisbon.
