Barcelona continued their perfect start to the La Liga season with an emphatic 7-0 victory over Real Valladolid at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday. This win marks their fourth consecutive triumph under the guidance of new coach Hansi Flick, solidifying their position at the top of the league table.
Brazilian winger Raphinha was the star of the match, delivering a stunning hat-trick that set the tone for Barcelona’s relentless performance. The game opened with Raphinha’s first goal in the 20th minute, where he skillfully chested down a pass from Pau Cubarsi and flicked the ball into the far corner with the outside of his left boot.
Just minutes later, Barcelona doubled their lead when Robert Lewandowski, ever the clinical finisher, received a through ball from the rising star Lamine Yamal and squeezed it past Valladolid’s goalkeeper Karl Hein, who is currently on loan from Arsenal. The first half was capped off by Jules Kounde, who made it 3-0 with a well-placed shot into the top corner after a corner kick.
As the second half commenced, Barcelona showed no signs of slowing down. Raphinha scored his second of the night with a simple tap-in after a scramble in the box involving Lewandowski and Yamal. His hat-trick was completed in the 72nd minute after a brilliant solo run by Yamal, who then provided a perfectly timed pass for Raphinha to finish with ease.
Dani Olmo, who had scored the winner midweek at Rayo Vallecano, joined in on the scoring spree with a goal on his debut for Barcelona, showcasing his dribbling skills as he weaved through Valladolid’s defense before slotting in Barcelona’s sixth goal.

Raphinha’s remarkable night was capped off with an assist for Ferran Torres, who came off the bench to score the seventh and final goal. Raphinha delivered a precise cross from the left wing, which Torres expertly converted, sealing Barcelona’s dominant victory.
Despite facing financial challenges and the departure of several key players, Barcelona’s early-season form has been nothing short of spectacular. In contrast, their rivals Real Madrid have struggled, even after the high-profile signing of Kylian Mbappé.
Barcelona’s next challenge will be to maintain this momentum as they face tougher opposition in the coming weeks. However, with players like Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Yamal in top form, the Catalan giants appear well-equipped to contend for the La Liga title this season.
