WATCH: Raphinha scores in 60 seconds to give Barcelona a dream start against Bayern Munich

Barcelona will be hoping for back-to-back Champions League wins as they take on Bayern Munich in a thrilling MD3 clash in the league phase. Hansi Flick competes against his former club and also had a dream start: the hosts scored a goal within 60 seconds.

Fermin Lopez is in the starting line-up for the first time this season and it was he who set up Raphinha for the opening goal. The Brazilian winger was played through one-on-one with Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, showing excellent composure to slot calmly into the net.

Barcelona couldn't have asked for a better start to the game at the Estadi Olimpic. It's a big week for Flick and his players as they also prepare for the game against Real Madrid on Saturday. From today's perspective, they will go into this showdown game in very good spirits, even if this game is still in its early stages.
