برشلونة مع فليك غير ….!

After four winless matches, Barcelona tore through Valencia’s net with seven goals in a thrilling and entertaining Catalan night. The Blaugrana broke their long-standing winless streak in La Liga, which had cost them the top spot, and dropped to third place, seven points behind their traditional rivals, Real Madrid, who sit at the top, and Atlético Madrid in second place. Although the La Liga season is long, this current edition is witnessing a huge technical leap and an impressive goal-scoring passion from Barcelona’s young players under the astute guidance of coach Flick, who is making excellent strides with the team and promises that under his leadership, Barcelona will experience many achievements and return to the European podiums. This is especially true as the team has qualified directly for the Champions League knockout stages with merit and impressive results, bringing joy to the Catalans everywhere.

The match also saw the return of Frenkie de Jong to the starting lineup, where he scored the opening goal after just three minutes. Laporta is keen to part ways with the disgruntled Dutchman and bring in Rashford. It seems that the most likely scenario is a player swap between the two due to Barcelona’s financial difficulties and Manchester’s deteriorating technical situation. Both teams are keen to offload the players and sever ties with them, making this a win-win deal for all parties involved.

Returning to the match, the Dutch midfielder continued his stellar performance and played a crucial role in extending his team’s lead, providing an assist to Alejandro Balde, who then crossed it to Ferran Torres, who put it in the net. Raphinha added the third goal, capitalising on a mistake by Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. López finished the first half on a high, scoring the fourth and fifth goals with a powerful shot from a distance on the right.

In the second half, Hugo Duro scored Valencia’s only goal with a close-range strike. Barcelona continued their dominance, with substitute Robert Lewandowski adding the sixth goal, before César Tárgago scored Barcelona’s seventh with an own goal. Flick’s young side successfully completed the task, while Valencia’s troubles deepened as they sit in 19th place with 16 points, having suffered their first defeat after going unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions.

The bottom line: Barcelona with Flick is a different animal!
