Nine minutes later, Barcelona doubled their lead. Pedri sent a precise lofted cross into the box. Alejandro Balde latched on to it and finished with a quick shot inside the left post.
It was 0-3 for the visitors on 40th minute. Raphinha played a simple square pass into the feet of Lewandowski in the box, who composed himself and lashed the ball into the bottom left corner for his brace.
