Part 3/8:
Despite Barcelona emerging victorious, their performance painted a different picture. The team struggled to maintain dominance in many areas of the pitch, showing inconsistency and occasional lapses in focus. The initial equalizing goal, a penalty by Lewandowski, came amidst what could be described as a lackluster offensive endeavor from the Catalan side. After conceding two goals in the first half, Barcelona's reactions were significant; yet, it seemed that they were often second best, merely benefiting from Benfica's defensive errors rather than executing their own game plan effectively.
