Barcelona strengthened their La Liga title credentials with a commanding 5-0 victory over Valencia on Sunday, maintaining their perfect start to the season and moving two points clear at the top of the table.
Lamine Yamal scored twice in a dazzling display as Hansi Flick’s side recorded their fourth consecutive league victory, underlining their early-season dominance and sending a warning to their title rivals.
Fermín López, Raphinha and Pedri were also on target as Barcelona overwhelmed Valencia at Mestalla, with the champions controlling the game from the opening minutes.
