An impressive Barcelona completed a 4-0 run with a spectacular victory at the “Mestalla”!
The Blaugrana dominated from the opening minutes of the match, put on a show, and ultimately secured an impressive 5-0 victory over a disappointing Valencia, extending their winning streak to start this year’s La Liga season before hosting Feyenoord for their Champions League opener! In fact, this was the third five-goal haul for Flick’s team to start the season, and they’ve already scored 17 goals in their first four matches!
On the other hand, Valencia, led by former Olympiacos coach Carlos Corberán, continues to struggle and remains with just one point after four matches, with their fans openly expressing their dissatisfaction through loud boos.
With Rodri starting for the first time since completing his transfer from Manchester City, Barcelona took the lead as early as the 6th minute when Yamal beautifully chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, and in the 9th minute Yamal scored again, but his goal was disallowed by VAR for a very close offside call.
However, the 2-0 lead wasn’t long in coming, as in the 22nd minute, Fermin found the back of the net with a beautiful chip, and in the 50th minute, he provided a perfect assist to Rafinha, who made it 0-3 with his sixth goal of the season! In the 79th minute, Pedri linked up brilliantly with Olmo before beating Dimitrievski, while the final 0-5 score was set in the 84th minute with Yamal’s second goal of the match!
