Listen now
Description
Raphinha scored twice on a memorable European night for Barcelona as Xavi Hernández's side recorded an impressive and significant 3-2 win over Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg on Wednesday. The two teams meet again in Montjuic on Tuesday. Sam and Rik look back at a game which saw good performances from several Barça players. They ask if this was the biggest win of the Xavi era? Barça's best European away day in almost a decade? They also discuss the impact of Raphinha, Ousmane Dembele, Pedri's return from injury and much more. NOTE: With Toni travelling back from the game in Paris, he and and Sam will record a bonus pod for Patreons on Friday on his experience in the French capital. Support the Show.
