Barcelona 7-1 Valencia match report: FC Barcelona ended a four-game winless run in LaLiga with a stunning 7-1 victory over Valencia. Goals from De Jong, Torres, Raphinha, Lopez, Lewandowski, and an own goal secured the win, pushing Barca to third in the standings.

Blaugrana had a perfect start after Frenkie de Jong gave them the lead within the first three minutes with a strike into the bottom corner after a dinked pass by Yamal.

The hosts were 2-0 up five minutes later after Torres connected well with a cross by Alejandro Balde in the box.

Valencia were collapsing at the back inside 14 minutes after Raphinha made it 3-0 for the Catalan giants from

a one-on-one chance with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili following a through ball by Lopez. Barca were running riot already with just 25 minutes on the clock as Lopez made it 4-0 with a strike in the box from a cross by Pau Cubarsi.

Valencia thought they had a lifeline just after the half-hour mark after the referee initially awarded them a penalty for a foul in the box by shot-stopper Wojciech Szczesny, however, following a review using the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) the referee referee changed his decision.

Flick's men continued to attack and Lopez made it 5-0 and completed his brace on the stroke of half-time from a rebound after Raphinha's initial shot came off the post.

Los Ches continued to absorb the pressure from the interval but they finally had a consolation goal on the hour-mark after Hugo Duro had a good strike at the near post from a cross by Diego Lopez.

However, Valencia were punished for a high line again six minutes later after substitute Lewandowski made it 6-1 for Barca from a through ball by Lopez.

It got worse for the visitors with 15 minutes to go after Cesar Tarrega misdirected a clearance into his own net from a cross and gave Blaugrana a 7-1 lead.

The win took Barca up to third in the standings, seven points behind leaders and rivals Real Madrid.
