Barcelona welcomed Real Valladolid on Sunday night and confirmed the pre-match predictions. It was a big favourite and the 4: 0 result corresponds not only to expectations but also to the Catalans’ performance.
The Catalans have not made an ideal start to the new season. In the very first round came an embarrassing 0:0 draw with Vallecano, and that was still on home soil. However, the next two games were played with bravura. A week ago they beat Real Sociedad 4-1, and they did even better in the weekend game.
Against Real Valladolid, Barcelona were clear favourites. In addition, the newly registered Jules Kounde was able to start the match. Robert Lewandowski was again in the attack and Raphinha was also present.
And it was the duo of Raphinha and Lewandowski who contributed to the first goal. The Brazilian sent a great centre to the back post and the Pole sent the ball into the net in a difficult position. The second goal was scored by young Pedri.
But then Lewandowski took the lead again. In the 64th minute, Ousmane Dembélé sent him a pass into the hexagon and the former Bayern star showed great confidence. The Polish sharpshooter sent the ball into the net with his heel.
Lewandowski could have also scored a hat-trick, but before the last goal of the game he hit the crossbar and was eventually sent into the net by Sergi Roberto.
Lewandowski was the second best player of the match according to WhoScored. Only Dembélé was better with a net rating of 9.
