Black to play and mate in 3

Nice one. I wish my app supported spoilers here!
Why Bxf6? Seems like... not a great move for white. They get a pawn but would lose their bishop from either of two directions. Or am I just missing the point of the chess puzzle? 😅
It's a desperate move to prevent a checkmate. If white did anything else (try c5 for example), black will reply with g6#.
If white did Bxf6, and black tries g6, white can escape by doing Kxg5.
