Kick off in style for Barcelona in the 2022-23 Champions League. Xavi's team thrashed the modest Viktoria Plzen 5-1 in the first match of Group C, in a duel held at the Spotify Camp Nou and where Robert Lewandowski once again proved decisive with a hat-trick. The Polish striker scored in the 34th, 45+3rd, and 67th minute. Franck Kessié (13th) and Ferran Torres (71st) increased the lead for the Catalans. Meanwhile, Jan Sýkora scored the consolation goal. For the next match, the blaugrana squad will visit Bayern Munich in one of the most awaited duels of the year, which will mark the return of 'Lewa' to his former home for eight seasons.
