Any lingering hopes of a miraculous Santander comeback were swiftly extinguished. Raphinha completed his hat-trick with another emphatic penalty, extending the scoreline to 5-2 and putting the game firmly out of reach.
Substitute Gabriel Jesus then joined the scoring party, calmly slotting the ball into the far corner of the net to make it 6-2. Yamal finally got his deserved goal shortly after, finishing off a devastating counter-attack to complete the seven-goal rout.
This resounding victory ensures Blaugrana remain the only Spanish top-flight club to boast a flawless winning record this term. Flick’s unstoppable squad sit proudly at the top of the Liga table, while Santander temporarily occupy tenth place.
