Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Fermin Lopez all bagged braces as Barcelona crushed Valencia 6-0 on Sunday in their first La Liga home match of the season — played at the Johan Cruyff Stadium due to delays in reopening Camp Nou.
The win pushed Barca to 2nd on the table, two points behind rivals Real Madrid.
Despite missing star boy Lamine Yamal due to injury — which coach Hansi Flick blamed on overuse by the Spanish national team — Barca dominated the match with stylish attacking football.
Fermin Lopez, who rejected a summer move to Chelsea, opened the scoring and was instrumental in the rout, showing why he’s becoming a key man under Flick.
