BARCELONA, March 18 (Reuters) - Barcelona stormed into the ⁠Champions League quarter-finals with a thumping 7-2 victory over Newcastle United at Camp Nou on Wednesday, sealing an emphatic 8-3 aggregate triumph in a ⁠compellinground-of-16 tie.

Raphinha opened the scoring in the sixth minute after Fermin Lopez led a swift counter attack, 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.
