FC Barcelona continues its rise in power. After the 5-2 inflicted on Rayo Vallecano last weekend, the Blaugranas once again showed their offensive power by outclassing the poor Valencia team, humiliated in front of their home crowd (0-5).
Uncertain during the week, Lamine Yamal quickly opened the scoring, with a magnificent lob from the outside of the left in the middle of the race (6th). The world champion was served by Fermin Lopez, who was not on the adventure in the United States with La Roja, but who is Barça’s other big man at the start of the season.
It was Fermin Lopez who doubled the lead quite quickly (22nd), to score (already) his fourth goal of the season. The very effective 23-year-old attacking midfielder took care of his statistics by delivering a second assist in this meeting, to Raphinha (50th), the top scorer in the championship with six goals.
Barça takes the lead alone
With such an efficient attacking trio (only Anthony Gordon was not decisive), Barça is scary, especially when it has weapons on its bench like Dani Olmo, who came on to give two assists to Pedri (79th) and Lamine Yamal (84th).
Opposite, we found Valencia CF far from its former glory, now dead last in the standings with only one point taken on the clock. The contrast was striking with Barça confident of its strengths, and now sole leader with 12 points taken out of 12 possible, after Real’s misstep on the Betis field. The team to beat this season is Hansi FLick’s team
