Barcelona absolutely demolished Valladolid 7-0 today at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. It was a dominant display from the home side, who controlled the game from start to finish.
Barcelona played a very attacking style, dominating possession with a 71% share. They created numerous chances, showcasing impressive passing accuracy of 92%, and consistently creating dangerous situations for their opponents. The impressive attacking play resulted in 11 shots on target, and overall the team had 23 shots, 7 of which were off target. They also had a very strong performance in ball possession and overall offensive statistics.
The first half saw Barcelona taking a 3-0 lead, with goals coming from Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Kounde. The second half was more of the same. Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Dani Olmo added goals for Barcelona, finishing a flawless performance in the second half as well.
Valladolid, on the other hand, struggled to contain Barcelona's relentless attack. Their possession figures reflected this, holding only 29% of the ball. Though they had moments of good fight, the attacking play was unable to match the home team's strength and skill. Valladolid's defence was severely challenged throughout the game and they were unable to produce any goal opportunities.
The most exciting moment for Barcelona fans, perhaps, was probably the goal from Ferran Torres, a moment of attacking play that was a true testament to the home team's strength.
Overall, Barcelona's performance was a masterclass. They were clinical in front of goal, and deservedly took home the three points. A comprehensive victory, leaving Valladolid looking a little weary.
