Barcelona Demolished Valladolid 7-0 to Continue Perfect Start

Barcelona delivered a masterclass performance on Saturday by thrashing Real Valladolid 7-0 at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

This victory marked their fourth consecutive win under new manager Hansi Flick, maintaining their perfect start to the La Liga season. Raphinha was the standout player, scoring his first career hat-trick with goals at the 20th, 64th, and 72nd minutes, and providing two assists.

Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres also found the net, contributing to one of the most dominant performances in Barça's history.

The match saw Barcelona dominate from start to finish, with superb ball play and relentless pressing. Dani Olmo hit the post twice early on, but it was Raphinha who opened the scoring with a beautiful finish from an outrageous assist by Pau Cubarsí.

Lewandowski doubled the lead just four minutes later, and Koundé added a third goal just before halftime. In the second half, Raphinha continued his brilliance, scoring two more goals and assisting Olmo and Torres for the final two strikes.

Barcelona's defense was equally impressive, with Marc-André ter Stegen making a crucial save in the first half. The team’s overall record now stands at 4-0-0, placing them at the top of the La Liga table with 12 points, five ahead of second-placed Villarreal and seven clear of rivals Real Madrid.
