Barça Universal brings you three points of conversation of Barcelona – Valencia 7-1.
A victory that felt like two
Barcelona’s victory over Valencia was satisfactory at multiple levels, from the scoreboard to the domain they showed in the field.
The Catalans made sure that the result was out of any doubt in the first 20 minutes and put five goals to Valencia before the break. However, the magnitude of the victory goes far beyond its implications in the race for the title of the League.
In fact, the three points help Barcelona to approach Atlético de Madrid, who lost points earlier this week and thus reaffirm his authority in the league after a period of scarcity. However, the psychological impact it has in Valencia cannot be underestimated.
It is expected that Barcelona and Valencia face once again in less than two weeks in a quarterfinal qualifying match of the Copa del Rey and losing 7-1 against the Blaugrana Last night it will undoubtedly serve them as a huge barrier when they meet.
In this way, Hansi Flick’s men not only won last night, but also took a great step to ensure victory next week and a place in the semifinals of the Cup. In any case, he feels like two victories added in one night.
The reinforcement that Fermín López needs so much
Fermín López was the hero of Spain at the Olympic Games, winning for his country the gold medal and leading from the front. However, an injury after his return to Catalonia partly derailed his season.
He The Masia The graduate did not look at the following months, he lacked inspiration in the last third and his movements were wrong. Until last night.
Starting against Valencia, Fermín returned to his best lethal level and created a threat to each touch. He shone as an offensive midfielder and not only threatened the goal, but also acted as the main creator.
It was López who attended Raphinha’s goal that night to put the 3-0 with a wonderful pass and he scored just ten minutes later to score his first goal of the season.
The young man completed his double just before the break, flying a rebound from a romhinha shot with great confidence and putting it out of the reach of Mamadarshvili.
Then, López attended Robert Lewandowski’s goal in the second half with another pass that divided the defense. Totalized three key passes that night, created a great opportunity, completed four dribbles and 88% of its passes.
Given the season he was having, it was a very necessary trusted injection for the 21 -year -old who has demonstrated his style worth. Now it is about to see how Flick handles his minutes with Dani Olmo and Gavi.
Successful rotations
Taking into account the relentless calendar, Hansi Flick maintained his usual route of rotations even against Valencia last night, giving rest to some key players and missing others for external reasons.
Pedri was not available for a stomach problem and did not participate, which gave Frenkie de Jong the opportunity to start with Marc Casado in the center of the defensive field.
Fermín López obtained a ownership and the number 10 playing instead of Gavi, who has had a lot of minutes in 2025.
Robert Lewandowski was the other player that Flick chose to rotate, taking a breath to the Polish striker and giving Ferran Torres the ownership in his place. It was also changed from the Ronald Araujo alignment whose place was occupied by Eric García.
Achieving such a special victory with so many marginal players participating is quite reassuring, but the performance of each and every one of them last night was impressive.
Flick’s rotations could not be more successful since Fermín lived one of his best nights with the Jong’s shirt and Frenkie of Jong performed a spectacular performance that turned the boos into ovation when he left the field.
Eric García also impressed with his ball skills, forming a solid association with Pau Cubarsi and never looking out of his depth. Torres, on the other hand, was spectacular when creating a threat of goal and was impeccable except for some wasted occasions.
