Barcelona and Manchester City notched lopsided victories as the first round of this season's UEFA Champions League continued on Wednesday with nine matches to close out Matchday 3.
Raphinha scored a hat trick in Barça's 4-1 win, with 17-year-old Lamine Yamal helping set up the Brazilian's third with a spectacular long-range pass: Liverpool, Inter Milan, Lille, Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord also won, while Atlético Madrid, Benfica and FC Salzburg and Young Boys all lost at home.
Here are the biggest takeaways from Wednesday's games. Three years after Lionel Messi left Barcelona, are the five-time European title winners finally legitimate contenders for the Champions League crown once again?
The Blaugrana sure looked like it on Wednesday, rocking Bayern Munich to put the exclamation point on this round's results in the world's marquee club competition.
