Barcelona fans reacted online after their side recorded a 4-1 win over Bayern Munich in their UEFA Champions League clash on Wednesday, October 23. The Catalans were ruthless in front of goal, punishing their opponents' mistakes in severe fashion.

La Blaugrana have secured two wins from three games in the Champions League, continuing their fine form this season.

Brazilian forward Raphinha continued his fine form for La Blaugrana with a terrific hat-trick (1', 45', 56') while Robert Lewandowski (36') also got on the scoresheet.

The LaLiga giants' performance drew great praise from their fans on X, who were ecstatic with the result.
