The neutrals hoping for Farcelona to finally break their winning streak were given hope when Mbappe burst through with the quickness to take the lead. But that only lasted for seven minutes before a sizzler from Mendy on the left beat Ter Stegen all ends up. Both sides were unafraid to get stuck in so, when Bentancur finally found some space on the hour, he took full advantage with a powerful strike from a frankly extraordinary distance. The MiBs were every bit a match for the Farce here, Illaramendi in particular unfortunate to be on the losing side, and it took two exceptional goals to beat them. It’s now 10 in a row for Guardiola’s side. Who can stop them?
