The Blaugrana easily won their fourth championship victory this season and remain undefeated for all competitions, two points from the leader, Real Madrid.
Two Ferran Torres goals in the first period set the tone for Barcelona at the Johan Cruyff stadium, before Dani Olmo concluded the victory with his first goal of the 2025/26 season.
The two players were established after the 2-1 victory in UEFA Champions League at Newcastle United, and Torres and Olmo seized their opportunities.
Hansi Flick is expressed
Marcus Rashford has scored a double for Tyneside – his first goals since his arrival on loan from Manchester United this summer – but the depth of the workforce is essential for Flick.
Maintaining the motivation will be a crucial issue for Flick, Torres being his top scorer so far this season, with four goals.
