At Mestalla, Barça put on one of those visits where the guest ends up opening the fridge, choosing the music and asking if there’s any dessert left: 0-5 against Valencia. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the 6th minute with a delicate finish, and two minutes later he scored again… but VAR took his second goal away for offside, as if to say, “No second helping just yet.” Fermín López made it 0-2 in the 22nd minute, and Joan García had work to do too: he saved an effort from Danjuma before half-time.

After the break, Raphinha finished off a counterattack in the 50th minute, started by Lamine and set up by Fermín. Then Pedri made it 0-4 in the 79th minute after combining with Dani Olmo, and Lamine rounded off the festival with his brace in the 84th. Five goals, a clean sheet and an afternoon when the scoreboard ended up looking like an order of Barça-coloured tapas. Valencia tried to fight back, but Barça had already turned Mestalla into their own playing board. (laliga.com)
