WATCH: Barcelona take an early lead against Crvena Zvezda thanks to unlikely goalscorer

Barcelona are aiming to make it three consecutive wins in the league phase of the Champions League, with Crvena Zvezda standing in the way of their goal at MD4. They are on course to do so, having taken an early lead in Belgrade.

It is an unlikely goalscorer who has found the net for Barcelona: Inigo Martinez. Raphinha’s lovely free-kick is headed back across goal by the veteran defender, scoring his second Champions League goal of the season – the first coming against Young Boys at MD2.

Barcelona have been so good at scoring early goals in games this season and it’s another one from Martinez, who has been an unsung hero for Hansi Flick’s side over the past few months.

That effort will pay off Barcelona down, and they can again look to control matters. As things stand, another Champions League win beckons for the La Liga leaders.
