Yamal Brace Leads Barcelona Past Valencia 5-0

Barcelona opened the La Liga season with four consecutive victories after routing Valencia 5-0, powered by two goals from Lamine Yamal and additional strikes from Fermín López, Raphinha and Pedri. The reigning champions dominated from the outset, with Yamal scoring in the sixth minute and completing the rout late in the match after Valencia’s fans protested outside Mestalla. Barcelona has scored 17 goals and conceded only two in its first four league games, moving three points clear of Real Madrid after its loss to Real Betis. Eric García left the match injured after colliding with teammate Rodri, who made his first start for Barcelona, while Gabriel Jesus made his debut as a substitute.
