Hansi Flick has worked wonders since walking through the doors at Barcelona, and his exceptional debut campaign continued to build steam in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Barcelona welcomed Young Boys to Catalonia and eased to a 5-0 victory which really could have presented more goals for the hosts.

With Los Cules sat comfortably atop LaLiga EA Sports, the club's continental campaign has the potentially to be equally as exciting given the new format allowing stronger clubs to face more of the weaker teams, even if not by design.

It took the Spanish club just eight minutes to open the scoring on Tuesday, with Robert Lewandowski firing the ball home from close range.

Raphinha had laid a pass onto the Polish forward and it found him inside the penalty area, giving him the aforementioned chance to open the scoring.

Raphinha then turned scorer in the 34th minute, getting inside the penalty area at the perfect moment to pounce on a rebound. The former Leeds winger powered the ball into the middle of the net.

Young Boys were then in danger of collapsing, conceding a third goal almost immediately from the restart.

Pedri sent a stunning cross into the Swiss team's penalty area which found Inigo Martinez in a central position.

The Basque defender leapt highest and nodded the ball beyond the goalkeeper and just inside the right post, making it 3-0.

Barcelona continue to go from strength-to-strength

Lamine Yamal's return to the team appeared to give Flick's charges so much more dynamism in attack, they were petrifying the Swiss side with each venture beyond the halfway line.

To say it was Barcelona of old may be simple hyperbole, but fans are certainly appreciating the style of football the German coach has introduced.

Robert Lewandowski was brought down by a defender just before the half-time interval, however the on-field referee waved away claims for a spot-kick.

VAR did then check the footage of the incident, but the original decision was upheld.

Inigo Martinez's aerial prowess shone once again as he got on the scoresheet once again, only this time with an assist.

A Barcelona corner was met by the Spaniard's head, and he directed a header back across goal to Lewandowski.

The former Bayern Munich forward was in space and was able to nod the ball home to make it 4-0.

Mohamed Camara was in the wrong place at the wrong time as he inadvertently directed a Barcelona pass into his own goal, giving the hosts a comfortable 5-0 advantage.

Whilst it would have proved to be nothing more than a consolation goal, Young Boys had the ball in the back of the net through Joel Monteiro.

Monteiro produced a stunningly technical finish, only for VAR to rule the goal out for an offside in the build-up.
