The goal cut Benfica's lead to 3–2, but Barcelona immediately conceded, as an own goal from Ronald Araújo put Benfica up 4–2. No matter, Barca proceeded to score three unanswered goals, getting tallies from Robert Lewandowski, Eric García and another from Raphinha—this time it was intentional—to score a 5–4 win on the road.

Liverpool became the first team to guarantee a place in the last 16 of the new Champions League format by beating Lille 2-1 on Tuesday, while Barcelona fought back from two goals down to stun Benfica 5-4 in a thriller.
