Fans on social media have lauded Barcelona following their 5-1 win over Sevilla in LaLiga on Sunday (October 20). Some of the club's supporters even suggested that Hansi Flick's men are ready to face Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring through a penalty in the 24th minute before Pedri doubled Blaugrana's lead four minutes later. In the 39th minute, Lewandowski made it 3-0 following what seemed to be a misfired shot by Raphinha.

In the 82nd minute, Pablo Torre took a shot that was deflected into the net by a Sevilla player, making the scoreline 4-0. Stanis Idumbo was able to pull one back for Sevilla (87'). A minute later, Barca scored their fifth goal through Torre's free kick.

Blaugrana's performance impressed fans on social media. Reacting to the result, one user wrote:

"Barça has been so good this season!”.
"Best Club In Europe!!," another user opined.
"This is what my club is known for!!," another used added.

One netizen opined that Barcelona are ready to face any team, writing:

"Bring Bayern Munich and Real Madrid."
"Europe might fear, but Barça will not," another fan commented.

Blaugrana have now registered 27 points from 10 LaLiga games this season, making them the current league leaders. They are three points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid. Flick's men would be looking to maintain consistency as they are eager to re-establish themselves this season.

Next, Barcelona will take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. The game will be played at the Camp Nou on Wednesday (October 23).

One player whose presence would be significant for Blaugrana in this clash is Robert Lewandowski, who has previously featured for the Bundesliga side.

Lewandowski scored 344 goals and registered 73 assists in 375 games while he was at Bayern Munich. His familiarity with defenders such as Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies could help Barcelona counter Bayern Munich's defense.

As far as current form is concerned, he's right up there, having scored 14 goals and registered two assists in 12 games this season. Barcelona have failed to defeat Bayern Munich in their last six meetings. However, with Lewandowski in attack, along with Flick's tactics, this could change.
