!!! 9-Goal THRILLER: Benfica vs Barça – Champions League CHAOS!
Barça, the Comeback of the Century in Lisbon! 🤯
Hey Sunday football fanatics! 👋 Well, we witnessed something absolutely insane last night! Barça, my Barça, once again showed that they have heart (and talent, let’s not kid ourselves). We were in Lisbon, at Benfica’s home, and we saw a match… how can I put it… EPIC! 🤩
A Catastrophic Start to the Match 😱
Okay, let’s be honest, the start of the match wasn’t great. Benfica, with their 18th place ranking (yes, yes, 18th!), put pressure on us from the get-go. We conceded goals in the 22nd, 30th, 68th, and 86th minutes. 4-0, at that point I thought: “It’s all over!” 😭 Pavlidis and Araujo put on a show for Benfica, and we were wondering if we’d go home with our tails between our legs. 😩
The Awakening of the Catalan Giant 🦁
But hold on, Barça isn’t just anyone! We have a warrior DNA, a winning mentality. And then, the alarm clock rang! ⏰ Lewandowski, our favorite Polish striker, got the machine going in the 13th minute. Then Raphinha followed up in the 64th minute, and E. Garcia scored the third in the 78th. We were back to 4-3! 🤯 The stadium was buzzing, the Barça fans were in a trance. We believed, we believed strongly! 💪
The Craziest End to a Match in History 🤪
And then, the script goes completely crazy. 90th minute, Lewandowski equalizes! 4-4! The match is restarted, we’re all standing in front of our screens, with sweaty hands. And then, the coup de grâce, the winning goal, in the 90+6th minute! 5-4 for Barça! 🥳 It’s madness, ecstasy, absolute joy! We made an insane comeback, something legendary! 🏆
