Hansi Flick’s men run outlcass Los Ches to secure three more points!

FC Barcelona had a visit to the Mestalla Stadium for their matchweek 4 fixture of the LaLiga 2026-27 season. They battled it out against the hosts, Valencia CF, in what became a five-goal thriller.

The Blaugrana dominated the proceedings from the start after establishing control of the ball. There were early fireworks by the visitors and Los Ches failed to stop the well established Barcelona attack. The hosts gave the ball away to their opponents easily and this eventually became a nightmare for them in the end.

With Real Madrid dropping points against Real Betis, the Hansi Flick-led side are now at the top of the LaLiga 2026-27 table with a three-point lead. This is a big boost for them early on in the new season. FC Barcelona will be looking to keep their form alive moving forward and it will be interesting to see their title defence.

Important things we learned from Valencia vs Barcelona:

1. Early fireworks from Barcelona

Hansi Flick’s men came up with their usual attacking approach and it worked out well once again for them. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in just five minutes of the game to give Barcelona a 1-0 advantage. Just after a couple of minutes, he came up with another strike at the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed. Fermin Lopez doubled the lead in the 22nd minute, with Barca establishing full control.

2. Barca’s attack continues to flourish

The attacking three of FC Barcelona continue to make headlines in the LaLiga. Lamine Yamal scored another brace, Raphinha found the net in the second half and Anthony Gordon came up with a crucial assist from the left flank. They now have several who can decide the match for them. They continue to be the attacking threat and making it difficult for their opponents to contain.

3. Fermin Lopez impresses against Valencia once again

Before this LaLiga outing against Valencia, Fermin Lopez scored five goals in just three league appearances against them. This time around he came up with a goal and also bagged two assists. His presence both in the attacking front and the midfield was quite crucial for FC Barcelona.

4. Valencia with another heavy defeat against Barca

With this 0-5 loss, Valencia have now lost four of their last five games against Barcelona in which they have conceded 23 goals. Their defence is simply not good enough against the Blaugrana. Los Ches have now failed to secure a win in their first four games of the LaLiga 2026-27 campaign. This is only going to build pressure on them moving forward.

5. Barcelona with fourth win in a row

The Hansi Flick-led side have now secured fourth consecutive win in the new season of the Spanish top division. This has taken them to the top of the table and they are now three points clear of their title rivals Real Madrid who recently faced a 0-1 loss against Real Betis. At this rate, FC Barcelona are nearing another LaLiga title and with their current form, their is no club stopping them.
