Font size

Barcelona beat Valencia this Sunday on matchday 4 of the League. In the first act, Lamine Yamal put the Barça team ahead in the 6th minute and two minutes later he scored again, although his goal was annulled by the VAR for offside. Barça did not lower their intensity and Valencia, very weak in their area and without tension, now conceded the second. On a dead ball in the area Gordon picked up the ball and gave it to Fermín who scored with his left foot against the post. Already in the second half, the Barça team looked hard for the third to get the game back on track even more and in a counterattack Raphinha put the ball in the way. Pedri then wanted to add to the win after a combinative play with Dani Olmo, who later assisted Lamine so that the Barça winger could complete his double.
