Barça thrashes Valencia 0-5 and leads the League with dizzying football

Barça enjoys and has fun at a dizzying speed, a team that is currently impossible for its rivals to follow on the field and on the table, the sole leader of the League. To the defeats of Real Madrid and Atlético, the Blaugrana responded with an easy and sweet victory in Valencia. The Barcelona fans play today with a single goal, diabolical, insatiable and unpredictable in the opposite field, surprising for their offensive variants, reinforced in Mestalla by the debut of Rodri as a starter, although the protagonist was Fermín. The midfielder was splendid in the arrival, in the shot and in his association with a brilliant Lamine. The list of notables varies and increases every day after the presentations of Espart and Gordon and Raphinha's scoring regularity.

The abundance of Barça, very confident due to its winning and scoring dynamics, contrasted with the penury of Valencia. The Blaugrana played with what could very well be their starting team, a sign of health and abundance, including Gabriel Jesus, while Valencia appeared with a formation conditioned by absences - eight -, by classification - one goal and one point - and by the anger of the fans, especially dissatisfied with the governance of the club and the ownership of Peter Lim. The anger soon spread to the different corners of the stadium, from the box to the field, because the game began with two goals from Lamine, the second annulled to the relief of Corberán's dejected boys. The image was surprising for Barça fans: Mestalla was playing against Valencia, luckily for Barça.

The Fermín-Lamine association dismantled the defense of five defenders set up by Corberán in the blink of an eye. The 0-1 score was excellent because of the way the winger finished off the inside pass with the outside of his left foot after letting the ball bounce, without any control, due to Pepelu's disorientation. Lamine scored again, also enabled by Fermín, and if the goal was not validated after the intervention of the technology, it was due to a toe on the left foot of the 10. The 0-2 came in any case before half an hour with a shot by Fermín, assisted by Gordon, after intervention by Lamine. Barcelona's mobility, speed and forcefulness dismantled a soft rival in the areas and without a wall in the midfield like Valencia.

The rhythm and speed of the Barça attackers at times surpassed Rodri, better in coverage than in deployment waiting to reach bottom, the involuntary protagonist of a crash that caused Eric's nose injury. As subdued as it was deranged, Valencia waited for the rival's losses to counterattack against Joan García. He did not have finesse or punch the few times he reached the Barça goal, which was too condescending in defense, entrusted to Joan García. The stands, in any case, never had mercy on their team and the handkerchiefs fluttered after Fermín's monologue, who was only denied a second goal by the post after an excellent play against Dimitrievski.

Although they regulated the game more, the Blaugrana did not give up or trust themselves at the end of the break, no matter how scorching the Mestalla heat was. There are no excuses for Flick, nor the match that awaits on Wednesday in the Champions League debut against Feyenoord. The goals fell in a rhythmic manner to give meaning to the remaining minutes of the game and there was even time for Gabriel Jesus to make his debut.

There was no shortage of the captain Raphinha's goal - he has five - Pedri scored and Lamine repeated, double scorer as against Rayo. Corberán's team allowed the Blaugrana to run until they made it 0-5. An always magical score for the Blaugrana and unbearable for the old Mestalla in their last Valencia-Barça League match.
