Barcelona will finish the weekend in third place in the La Liga table and seven points behind the leaders thanks to a dominant 7-1 win over Valencia at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium on Sunday night. Barça secured the victory with a sensational first half performance and added a couple more in the second to claim all three points and end an awful run of results in the league in emphatic fashion.
FIRST HALF
It’s really hard to picture things going any better than they did in the first half for Barça: the Blaugrana established their dominance early, with Frenkie de Jong, Ferran Torres and Raphinha all scoring in the first 15 minutes to put the home team up by three goals and completely discourage Valencia from having any hopes on the night.
