FC Barcelona continues its great collective moment at the start of the new 2024-2025 season of the Spanish LaLiga and this Saturday achieved a monumental 7-0 win over Real Valladolid during the match played at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium in Catalonia, Spain.
The attacking approach of Hansi Flick, who replaced Xavi Hernández on the Catalan bench, continues to bear fruit, achieving his fourth victory in his first four games and leaving a +10 goal difference.
Brazilian winger Raphinha led the charge for the Blaugrana with a hat-trick, the first of his career, although the combined performance could have been more impressive due to three shots hitting the posts and another goal being ruled out for offside.
Barcelona’s new star Dani Olmo also found the net, scoring one of the seven goals, although he was unlucky enough to score the goal that was not included on the scoresheet and also to hit the post on two of the three occasions mentioned above.
Robert Lewandowski also added a goal to remain top scorer in LaLiga, celebrating for the fourth time in his fourth match.
French defender Jules Kounde and Spanish winger Ferran Torres completed the rout for Barcelona.
In this way, Barcelona continues with a perfect rhythm (12 points out of 12 possible) and its next challenge will be on September 15, after the FIFA date, as a visitor against Girona.
