Barcelona, led by Lamine Yamal’s (19) multi-goal performance, crushed Valencia to maintain their lead in Spain’s La Liga. The defending champions have now racked up four consecutive wins.
On September 6, Barcelona delivered a dominant 5-0 victory over Valencia in the fourth round of the 2026-27 La Liga season at the Nou Mestalla in Valencia, Spain.
With this win, Barcelona has secured four straight victories since the season opener, accumulating 12 points to sit alone atop the La Liga standings.
This marks the third time this season that Barcelona has netted five goals in a single match.
Having scored 17 goals while conceding only 2, Barcelona boasts an impressive +15 goal difference, showcasing their near-perfect balance between offense and defense. The goal difference gap between Barcelona and Valencia, which stands at -8, is a staggering 22 goals.
Deportivo Alavés trails in second place with 10 points, while Real Madrid occupies third with 9 points.
Valencia, meanwhile, has struggled mightily, failing to secure a win in their first four matches with one draw and three losses, leaving them at the bottom of the 20-team league with just a single point.
Yamal kicked off the scoring for Barcelona just six minutes into the first half, followed by Fermin López’s goal in the 22nd minute, giving them a 2-0 lead at halftime.
The onslaught continued in the second half with Raphinha finding the net in the 5th minute, Pedri in the 34th, and Yamal adding his second in the 39th, sealing the comprehensive five-goal victory.
Raphinha currently tops the scoring charts with 6 goals, while Yamal is tied for third with 4 goals to his name.
Anthony Gordon, Barcelona’s new signing this season, continues to make waves. He provided the assist for López’s goal, bringing his tally to 5 assists in just 4 matches, a clear indication of his seamless integration into the team.
In La Liga history, only four players have managed to dish out 5 assists in their first four matches. Prior to Gordon, this feat was achieved by just three players: Juanito in the 1980-81 season with 7 assists, Michel in the 1987-88 season with 9, and Lionel Messi in the 2011-12 season with 5.
