This Barça is very serious and against Valladolid they completed a historic match with a rout that no culé will forget for a long time. Hansi Flick's men put on a show and gave a brutal 7-0 to a Valladolid that at no point could compete against a Barcelona team that gave its best performance in years. Raphinha scored a hat-trick crowned by an assist, Lewandowski scored again, Koundé also scored, Lamine Yamal did not score, but gave two great assists and Dani Olmo, who scored his second goal for Barcelona, ​​and Ferran Torres, closed the scoring.

FC Barcelona is right now a cyclone and with Dani Olmo's rhythm they could have taken the lead against Valladolid before the fifth minute. The player from Egar, who made his debut as a starter for the Catalans in the match against the pucelanos, found a rebound just a few metres from the rival goal and hit the post when all of Montjïc were already celebrating the goal. Not long after, in the 10th minute, the former Leipzig player himself defined well and scored, but the linesman pointed out an offside that was later confirmed by the VAR.

Despite the 'post' of the goal disallowed, Barça did not give up and once again demonstrated the desire and competitive hunger that is catapulting them so far in this League. In the 20th minute, Pau Cubarsí saw a great run from Raphinha that the Brazilian controlled wonderfully and then finished with the outside of his foot at full speed in a perfect way. A great goal from the former Leeds player to put his team ahead and vindicate himself again after the assist he gave to Pedri against Rayo Vallecano for 1-1.

Lewandowski's goal puts the game on track

But the Barcelona players did not slow down after the 1-0 and only took 4 minutes to score the second after taking advantage of Valladolid's doubts behind them. Lamine Yamal added his third assist of the campaign when he saw Lewandowski's run, who brought the ball down perfectly and defined before Hein with his left foot to make it 2-0. The '9' added his fourth goal of the season to put Flick's team on track for the fourth victory, which is currently in unstoppable mode.

With that second goal, the Catalans felt even more superior against a Valladolid team that was being tremendously outclassed in defence. In attack, Pezzolano's men did create some danger, especially with some forays by Raúl Moro, but none of them came to anything. On the other hand, the Blaugranas, every time they got close, did so with the feeling that the third could come. Dani Olmo, in fact, touched it again with his second post of the match after a delicate right-footed shot with a wall of defenders in front of them.

Barcelona were enjoying themselves on the pitch and the match was already heading into the break with the feeling that the result was not going to change. However, Flick's men seemed to have no limits and in a corner kick Jules Koundé took advantage of a rebound to score with a shot that almost went in the top corner, the definitive 3-0 with which the Catalans went to the break.

Barça raised their level even more in the second half

In games like this, with one of the two teams suffering and the other 'flying', the break usually benefits a little more the one that is behind on the scoreboard. However, this Barça is so eager to win, to score and to please that in this case the opposite happened. Flick's men came out even more overwhelming in the second half and had countless opportunities to score the fourth in the first 15 minutes.

Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal were the first to test Hein after the break, but they came up against the defence and the visiting goalkeeper. Raphinha also had a very clear chance, colliding again with the Valladolid goalkeeper when the goal was almost celebrated. Shortly after, Lewandowsi sent it off the post after a magical back-heel pass from Yamal. Barcelona, ​​dominating the game from start to finish, tirelessly sought the 4-0, but the goal resisted more than expected.

Luckily, the attacks continued to happen and in the end Raphinha took advantage of a 'commotion' in the area to easily score the fourth. Lewy was the involuntary assistant to the Brazilian's second, which is undoubtedly one of the many good news stories of the start of the season for the Blaugrana team. The club has spent the whole summer looking for a starter for the left wing without any luck, but the Fair Play has prevented this and has also allowed the '11' to show, as he is doing, that he can be key and decisive in this team.

Raphinha's hat-trick and historic rout

With the score at 4-0, the feeling was that Barça could end up making a historic game, as Valladolid was knocked out and the Blaugrana still wanted more goals. That's how the 'manita' came about, once again thanks to Raphinha, who took advantage of a great pass from Lamine after a run to easily finish past Hein. The Brazilian's first hat-trick with Barcelona to finally vindicate himself with what was undoubtedly his best game in the Blaugrana shirt.

But the fifth was not going to be the last, as between the 83rd and 85th minutes two more came to close out the game. Dani Olmo scored the goal he had been looking for so much during the match after dodging a couple of defenders with an oriented control, placing it on his right leg, feinting and putting it perfectly to the far post. Ferran scored the seventh and final goal after a great cross from Raphinha from the left to round off his historic afternoon. The Valencian struck first time with a goal and closed out a match that makes it very clear that this great team is very serious and that this season it aspires to absolutely everything.
