Fan captures the passage of play that proves Barcelona are well and truly back after thrashing Bayern Munich

One fan has picked out a passage of play that proves the Barcelona of old are back after their convincing win over Bayern Munich.

On Wednesday night, Barcelona were in rampant form as a hat-trick by Raphinha plus a goal from Robert Lewandowski secured a comfortable 4-1 win over Bayern.

England captain Harry Kane was the scorer for the Bavarians in what was a cruel reality check for Vincent Kompany’s team.

After the match, a video of Barcelona ‘toying’ with Bayern was posted on Reddit.

In the video, Barcelona had firm control of the ball as they passed their way around their opponents.

Some fans in the video were getting excited as they watched their team outplay one of Europe’s biggest clubs.

The passage of play ended with ex-Bayern striker Lewandowski winning a free kick inside his own half.

For many years, Barcelona have dominated European football especially when the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and David Villa were playing under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.

However, in recent years, Barcelona have found it tough to meet the standards set by the club’s legends, but the signs under new boss Hansi Flick are promising.

Speaking after the match, Flick said: “We beat a fantastic team tonight. Barça v Bayern is now a tradition in Europe. And this was a game between two teams with a similar philosophy ... I like the we recovered after the goal. It was very important to win today and we did it ... And by playing very well, very dynamic. But it is still very early. The season is only just starting.

“This is a very young team, but with a lot of quality and they have fun playing. And I am very happy to be here. I am writing a new chapter in my life and I'm loving it all. The people at the club, the fans, the team... Everything is fantastic.”

He continued: “They give everything and they are all proud to wear the Barça shirt. I have always spoken about La Masia, but you can really see bond between them. It's very special and has to be maintained.”
