Barcelona Thrash Valencia Five Nil To Stay Perfect

Barcelona continued their outstanding start to the 2026/27 LaLiga season with a dominant 5–0 victory over Valencia at Mestalla, making it four wins from four for Hansi Flick’s side. The champions took control almost immediately, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring inside six minutes after being released by Fermín López. Fermín then doubled the advantage in the 22nd minute with a powerful finish from outside the area, giving Barcelona complete control before half-time. Barcelona continued to dominate after the break. Fermín turned provider again when he created the third goal for Raphinha, who tapped in at the back post in the 50th minute. Pedri later added a fourth before Yamal completed his brace from close range late in the match. The performance underlined the strength of Barcelona’s attack, with Fermín finishing the match with one goal and two assists, while Yamal once again delivered another decisive performance. Raphinha also continued his strong scoring form early in the season. The match also saw Gabriel Jesus make his Barcelona debut from the bench following his move from Arsenal, adding another attacking option to Flick’s squad. Barcelona now sit top of LaLiga with 12 points from four matches and have scored 17 goals during that perfect run. Valencia remain rooted to the bottom of the table with only one point from their opening four games. Barcelona did not simply win — they completely controlled the match from start to finish and sent another strong early-season message to their title rivals.
