Hansi Flick's side overcame a shaky first half to eventually overwhelm the English visitors. The celebration was dampened when Sallent-born goalkeeper Joan García had to be substituted ten minutes before the end due to a sharp pain in his left calf.
The match saw Raphinha and Bernal scoring early, but Newcastle's Elanga capitalized on defensive errors to equalize twice. A crucial penalty from Lamine Yamal just before half-time restored the lead and shifted the momentum in favor of the hosts.
The second half was a clinical display from Barça, with goals from Fermín, a brace from Lewandowski, and a final strike by Raphinha. The team now awaits medical updates on both Joan García and Eric Garcia ahead of the upcoming international break.
