Barcelona maintained their perfect start to the season with a rampant 5-0 win against bottom-placed Valencia.
Hansi Flick’s side broke the deadlock after just five minutes when Lamine Yamal ran in behind the Valencia defence and converted a perfectly weighted through ball from Fermin Lopez.
Lopez doubled the lead when he rifled Anthony Gordon’s lay-off into the bottom left corner of Stole Dimitrievski’s goal. It was Lopez’s fourth goal and Gordon’s fourth assist in as many matches this season.
Barcelona began the second half as ferociously as the first when Raphinha tapped in his sixth goal of the season.
Lopez, Barcelona’s best player on the afternoon, sprinted the length of the attacking half to set up the former Leeds winger for his 50th goal in the Spanish top flight.
Midfielder Pedri combined with Dani Olmo for a one-two and neatly slotted home to score Barca’s fourth, before Olmo slithered between Valencia midfielders to slip Lamine Yamal through for his fourth goal of the campaign.
