Raphinha punishes Benfica again and again in Champions League 😲 | OneFootball

Barcelona and Benfica are at it again in the Champions League, with a chaotic first half seeing the hosts lead 3-1 and seemingly en route to the quarter finals.

The scorers could hardly have been further apart in the betting odds for the sides - Raphinha with two and Lamine Yamal with one in between for Barça, and Nicolás Otamendi for the Portuguese giants.

The brilliant Brazilian has enjoyed an incredible season, scoring 26 goals, including 11 in 10 in Europe's top club competition, which sees him go level with Serhou Guirassy at the top of the scoring charts

Five of those have come against the Portuguese giants, with two being winners in their previous two fixtures, one of which, of course, ended a staggering 5-4 after an epic comeback.

He also once scored against them as a youngster with Vitória de Guimarães before plying his trade at rivals Sporting for a season. They must be sick of the sight of him!

Otamendi had given his side hope just two minutes after Raphinha's opener, picking the perfect time to head home his first-ever Champions League goal for Benfica, and just his second in 92 appearances in the competition.

Hope seems lost for Benfica but they will know better than anyone how a game can flip on its head. Let's hope for more madness in the second 45.
