Barcelona produced a stunning performance with a 6-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga. The win highlighted their attacking power and squad depth despite ongoing challenges off the pitch.
Robert Lewandowski scored twice to celebrate his 150th appearance for the club. Raphinha also netted two goals, while Fermin López added another brace. The combination of experienced players and young talents created a balanced and energetic performance. Barcelona’s midfield also controlled the game, making Valencia struggle throughout the ninety minutes.
There was also a positive return for teenager Marc Bernal. He came back from a long injury and immediately contributed with an assist. His return gives the team more options in midfield for the coming fixtures.
However, not all news was positive. Lamine Yamal missed the match due to a pubic bone injury. The 17-year-old has been ruled out of the next few games. His absence is a blow for Barcelona, as the youngster has been one of their brightest attacking options. The manager stressed the importance of protecting young players from overuse to avoid long-term problems.
Away from the pitch, Barcelona continue to face issues with their home ground. Renovation and safety delays mean Camp Nou is still not ready to host matches. As a result, the club had to move their home fixtures to the smaller Johan Cruyff Stadium. This has limited fan attendance and created logistical challenges.
Despite these concerns, the 6-0 win gives Barcelona confidence ahead of their European and domestic schedule. The team showed they can score goals from multiple positions, even when key players are missing. The club now aims to carry this momentum forward while working to resolve the stadium situation and manage injuries carefully.
