Raphinha, Lewandowski and Ferran destroyed Valencia
For Barça, the match against Valencia was a total party at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The blaugrana team went from less to more, closing another thrashing to the 'ché' team with five goals in the second half, with Raphinha and Lewandowski being decisive.
Fermín had put the culés ahead in the 29th minute and, at halftime, Rafa's entry for Roony Bardghji opened the floodgates for Flick's team. The Brazilian made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute taking advantage of a pass from Marcus Rashford from the side. Three minutes later, the player from Huelva would seal the match in the 56th minute with a powerful long-range shot.
With Valencia down, Raphinha scored his personal double in the 66th minute, taking advantage of a mistake between Copete and Gayà after a pass from Fermín. Robert Lewandowski came on for Ferran Torres in the 68th minute and closed the scoring with another double, assisted by Dani Olmo and Marc Bernal.
This is the first time in LaLiga history that two substitutes have scored doubles in the same match. In addition, Barça had not benefited from three different doubles since 2017, when Leo Messi, Paco Alcácer and André Gómez scored against Osasuna (7-1).
In this way, Barça is back to making a strong statement in the top scorers ranking, with five goalscorers fighting for the Pichichi. Real Madrid, for its part, has Arda Güler and Vinicius Jr. (both with 2 goals) in the top places of the table, although the blaugrana team already has, by far, the most lethal attack with 13 goals in 4 matches and +10 difference.
