His second goal came in the 45th minute as he dribbled his to the edge of the box before letting fly with his weak foot through the legs of Dayot Upamecano. Bayern were hanging on for mercy when Lamine Yamal played Raphinha through on goal. He took the ball in his stride before firing low and hard from the edge of the box. The ball found the bottom right corner as Raphinha bagged a hat-trick in his 100th appearance for the club.
