FC Barcelona dismantled Real Valladolid with a commanding 7-0 victory in their final La Liga match before the international break. The game, played at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys, saw Barcelona put on an attacking masterclass that highlighted their offensive capabilities.
Under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Barcelona had previously secured narrow victories in their first three La Liga fixtures. However, this match against Real Valladolid showcased a different level of dominance. Barcelona’s performance was electric from the start, but they had to wait until the 20th minute to open the scoring. Pau Cubarsi delivered a precise pass to Raphinha, who made no mistake in finishing past Valladolid’s goalkeeper, Karl Hein.
The Catalan giants doubled their lead just four minutes later. Lamine Yamal’s deft lob found Robert Lewandowski, who controlled the ball expertly and scored with a well-placed shot. The lead was extended further just before halftime when Jules Kounde scored from a corner kick, sending Barcelona into the break with a comfortable 3-0 advantage.
The second half saw Barcelona continue their relentless assault. Raphinha scored his second of the match around the hour mark, tapping in from close range. He completed his hat-trick in the 72nd minute with a cool finish through Hein’s legs after a perfect pass from Yamal. Dani Olmo added to the tally in the 82nd minute, and Ferran Torres rounded off the scoring, tapping in a pass from Raphinha to make it 7-0.
