Raphinha opened the scoring in the sixth minute after Fermin Lopez led a swift counterattack, ‌but Anthony Elanga levelled nine minutes later from Lewis Hall’s cross.

Marc Bernal restored Barca’s lead from a Raphinha free kick before Elanga struck again in the 28th minute after Lamine Yamal failed to clear.

Yamal made amends by converting a spot kick deep into first-half added time after VAR spotted Kieran Trippier’s foul on Raphinha inside the box and Barca ​came storming back from the break to score four goals in the second half.

Fermin added a fourth in the 52nd minute and Robert ​Lewandowski scored twice in quick succession, first with a header from a corner and then from Yamal’s through ball.

Raphinha sealed ⁠the rout in the 73rd minute after a Jacob Ramsey mistake, with the Catalan side now set to meet either Atletico Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur in ​the next round.

“We are delighted, it was a great performance,” Raphinha told Movistar Plus.

“Newcastle are a very physical side; if they’re on form, they make life ​difficult for you. We were calm throughout the match and knew we had to control the game. We lost possession a lot in the first half but the third and fourth goals came quickly and helped us settle down.”
