Barcelona 7-2 Newcastle — xTears 21.28 (18/03/26)
Barcelona turned the 7-2 over Newcastle on 18 March 2026 into a rout in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. Total damage: 21.28 xTears.
Raphinha carried much of the damage, with the match first opening through Raphinha 6' goal (+1.41 xT); Raphinha 72' goal (+1.47 xT) then widened it further.
There was no real calm here, just one momentum swing after another. The xTears split stayed clearly tilted toward the winner.
