"Barcelona stormed back in the second half to claim a 4-1 victory over Copenhagen at the Camp Nou, sealing a top-eight finish and direct qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League. Goals from Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Marcus Rashford on Wednesday ensured the Catalans finished fifth in the standings on 16 points, level with Manchester City, Chelsea and Sporting but ahead on goal difference."
"We all came here tonight thinking about getting into the top eight. We're very happy with the win, 18-year-old Yamal told Movistar Plus. When you concede a goal in the Champions League, it's very difficult to come back, but the team was very resilient and managed to turn it around. With the number of matches we play in a season, having two fewer matches leaves you feeling much better."
Barcelona recovered from a fourth-minute shock to beat Copenhagen 4-1 at Camp Nou and secure automatic qualification to the Champions League last 16. Viktor Dadason gave Copenhagen an early lead after a defence-splitting pass, but Barcelona overturned the deficit in the second half. Lamine Yamal assisted and scored, Robert Lewandowski equalised, Raphinha converted a penalty after a foul on Lewandowski, and Marcus Rashford added a free-kick goal. The win placed Barcelona fifth with 16 points, level on points with Manchester City, Chelsea and Sporting but ahead on goal difference, ensuring fewer fixtures next season.
