Barcelona dominated from start to finish and destroyed Valencia 6–0 in their home debut in front of 6,000 fans at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.
With braces from Fermín López, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona cruised to victory against a very disappointing Valencia side that completely collapsed in the second half. Hansi Flick’s men overwhelmed the visitors, outshooting them by 24 to two, with Joan García facing just one shot on target all night.
After three unconvincing performances to start the season, Barcelona’s title defense is up and running. Flick’s side finally looked like the team that dominated Spanish soccer a season ago and will now aim to build on this performance with their 2025–26 Champions League debut up next.
Here’s three takeaways from Barcelona’s emphatic victory.
