Seven goals and a penalty save: Barça made it rain on the scoreboard against Racing

Esports FC Barcelona

Barça turned Spotify Camp Nou into a goal-scoring machine — and the scoreboard into a calculator ready for retirement — with a 7-2 win over Racing on 16 September 2026. João Cancelo opened the festivities in the 8th minute with a shot into the top corner, and Raphinha made it 2-0 from the penalty spot. Maguette Gueye pulled one back, but an own goal by Asier Villalibre and Raphinha’s second left the score at a commanding 4-1 at half-time. Before the players headed to the dressing rooms, Lamine Yamal saw the goalkeeper save his penalty; because even in a thrashing, football has room for a moment of suspense. (laliga.com)

Racing tried to get back into the game with Yassir Zabiri’s goal (4-2), but Raphinha completed his hat-trick from the spot and snuffed out any hopes of a comeback. Gabriel Jesus and Lamine Yamal — this time, successfully — rounded off the 7-2 scoreline. There was also a moment of concern: Joan Garcia was replaced at half-time by Wojciech Szczęsny after suffering discomfort. In short: seven Barça goals, two scares, and a night when Racing must have felt as if every corner came with a bill. (laliga.com)
