Barcelona beat Borussia Dortmund to climb into second on the Champions League standings.
Hansi Flick's inspired substitution proved the difference as Ferran Torres came off the bench to score a brace and help Barcelona beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2.
The Blagrana could have put the game to bed in the first-half, but were wasteful. They eventually went ahead through Raphinha in the 52nd minute, but Dortmund responded through Seirhou Guirassy from 12 yards.
Ferran Torres scored moments after coming on to restore Barcelona's lead, but Guirassy scored again to restore parity. However, the Spain international had the last laugh, beating Gregor Kobel in the 85th minute to hand the Blaugrana their first victory on German soil since 2016.

key match details
The Catalan giants dominated the first half, with Raphinha squandering a gilt-edged opportunity in the 15th minute after Lamine Yamal's exceptional cross.
Dortmund's Gregor Kobel proved instrumental in preserving his side's clean sheet into the first half, making two crucial saves to deny Yamal and Jules Kounde. The second half began at a frenetic pace, with Dortmund's Jamie Gittens having a goal disallowed for offside.
Barcelona capitalised on this reprieve, as Raphinha slotted home a finish after being released by Dani Olmo, beating the offside by the slimmest of margins. However, Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy drew his side level from the penalty spot after being shoved in the box by Pau Cubarsi.
Flick's triple substitution paid dividends as Fermín López and Ferran Torres combined to restore Barcelona's lead. Torres turned in the rebound after Lopez's shot was saved by Kobel.
Guirassy should have equalised immediately but astonishingly headed over from point-blank range. He redeemed himself moments later, capitalising on Inaki Pena's ill-advised rush out of his box to store Pascal Groß. The former Brighton man laid it off to the Guinean, who slid the ball home.
As Dortmund pushed for a winner, they left themselves vulnerable at the back. Barcelona exploited this, catching their hosts on the counterattack as Yamal picked out Torres, who fired across Kobel to seal the victory.
