\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> remains the sole leader of LaLiga EA Sports 2025-26<\/strong>. On Sunday, the Blaugrana side secured their tenth consecutive home victory in the tournament, this time against Real Oviedo<\/strong> (3-0) to maintain their one-point lead over Real Madrid<\/strong>. The Catalans grew into the game, eventually thrashing the bottom-placed team with goals from Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal. <\/p>

Hansi Flick <\/strong>made several adjustments to his lineup<\/a>, with Joao Cancelo<\/a> as left-back and Marc Casad\u00f3<\/strong> returning to the midfield alongside Frenkie de Jong<\/strong> and Dani Olmo<\/strong>. Bar\u00e7a struggled to break through Oviedo’s defensive wall, with crosses from Lamine Yamal<\/a>, Olmo, and Cancelo being the best offensive weapons for the Cul\u00e9s before the break.<\/p>

After a goalless and fairly balanced first half, Oviedo’s defensive errors opened the door for two Bar\u00e7a goals in five minutes. Dani Olmo<\/strong> and Raphinha <\/strong>punished blatant mistakes by the Asturian center-backs, Carmo and Costas, to pave the way for a comfortable Blaugrana victory.<\/p>

With the win, Flick’s men retain the LaLiga lead in matchday 21 with 52 points, one more than Real Madrid (51). In the next round, Bar\u00e7a visits Elche<\/a> (Saturday), while the ‘Casa Blanca’ will host Rayo (Sunday).<\/p>

An uncomfortable and goalless first half for Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>

Oviedo surprised Barcelona with effective high pressing, stifling the clean build-up from the Cul\u00e9 center-backs and maintaining a constant double-mark on Lamine Yamal<\/strong> and Raphinha<\/strong>. Hassan<\/strong>, on the right, was a headache for Cancelo and, in the 9th minute, forced a yellow card for Gerard Mart\u00edn<\/strong> after a trip.<\/p>

After a very fragmented opening fifteen minutes with no clear chances, a cross from Casad\u00f3 <\/strong>came close to finding Robert Lewandowski<\/strong> inside the box, but the Pole was a second too late for an acrobatic finish. The ‘9’ had a couple more chances from Lamine and Eric Garc\u00eda’s crosses but failed to get a comfortable shot on target.<\/p>

Raphinha, just before the break, had Bar\u00e7a’s best chance of the first half. The ’11’ struck a bouncing volley from a chest-high pass by Lamine, but Aar\u00f3n Escandell<\/strong> prevented the goal with a great save. Joan Garc\u00eda<\/strong> also had to appear a couple of times to handle shots from Hassan, both held by the Sallent native without giving away a rebound.<\/p>

At halftime, Hansi Flick brought on Jules Kound\u00e9 in place of the cautioned Gerard Mart\u00edn<\/strong>. With this move, Eric moved to the center of the defense alongside Cubars\u00ed. Raphinha, with a corner from the right, nearly assisted Lewandowski, but Bar\u00e7a continued to have trouble finding spaces and maintaining effective circulation after long spells of possession. <\/p>

However, in the 51st minute, a mistake in Oviedo’s build-up following intelligent pressure from Lamine Yamal<\/strong> led to the opening goal. The ’10’ blocked David Carmo’s long ball and, after a high rebound, played it to his right with help from Raphinha, where Dani Olmo <\/strong>appeared to finish first-time with a precise shot, unreachable for Aar\u00f3n Escandell.<\/p>

Six minutes later, in the 57th, Raphinha pressured David Costas<\/strong> and, after a very short back-pass to Escandell, the ’11’ found himself alone against the Spanish goalkeeper, delicately chipping the ball to leave the Asturian team’s keeper with no options.<\/p>

Defensive errors broke the deadlock in a very uncomfortable match for Bar\u00e7a, resolved thanks to the clinical finishing of two of their players in top form. Dani now has 6 league goals, while Rapha reached 8 in the tournament. With the match almost settled, Flick brought on Alejandro Balde and Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/strong> for Cancelo and Raphinha.<\/p>

Lamine Yamal rounded off the rout with an acrobatic finish<\/h2>

Lamine came close to a third in the 61st minute with a powerful left-footed strike that Escandell tipped for a corner with a great save. The rout seemed imminent, but Oviedo managed to regroup defensively after a couple of substitutions. Nonetheless, in the 73rd minute, Yamal finally got to celebrate his goal with an acrobatic finish, capitalizing on a mid-height cross from Olmo.<\/p>

The ’10’ finished with a scissor kick<\/strong>, placing the ball at the far post to leave Aar\u00f3n with no chance. Immediately after, Marc Bernal replaced Dani Olmo, who left with a goal and an assist to loud applause from the Spotify Camp Nou crowd. Even louder was the ovation for Lamine Yamal, replaced in the 77th minute by Roony Bardghji<\/strong>.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a now turns its focus to the clash against Copenhagen<\/strong> next Wednesday (21:00 CET) for the final matchday of the Champions League group stage. A Cul\u00e9 victory will almost certainly secure direct qualification to the round of 16, Flick’s team’s first European objective of the season.<\/p>
