This has been a statement performance from Barcelona at the Estadi Olimpic. Hansi Flick’s side have dominated Real Valladolid, and not content with being 5-0 up, they have now scored two more quickfire goals to make it seven.
Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski got the party started early on, and Jules Kounde made it 3-0 at half time. Raphinha then took over in the second half, scoring twice inside a few minutes to notch his first-ever Barcelona hat-trick.
That did not satisfy Flick’s charges. Firstly, Dani Olmo finally got his goal to make it 6-0. The big-money signing hit the woodwork twice earlier in the match, but he has now got involved in the scoring.

A few minutes later, substitute Ferran Torres scored his first goal of the season. Raphinha was once again involved, supplying the assist on this occasion.
