- 3 Barcelona stars who stood out in the club's 7-0 victory over Real Valladolid.
FC Barcelona has asserted its dominance at the top of the La Liga table, winning all of their fixtures before the international break. While all the victories hold immense importance in the club's season ahead, their recent display against Real Valladolid has been simply outstanding. It was the first time that the Catalan club achieved such a bolstering scoreline since the club's 6-1 win against Real Sociedad in the 2020-21.
While every Barcelona player stood crucial in the club's overall performance, some stood above others, making this 7-0 win look comfortable for FC Barcelona. On that note, here is a look at the 3 Barcelona stars who stood out in the club's 7-0 victory over Real Valladolid: -
Raphinha
Being one of the star performers during the crisis years of FC Barcelona in the club's last two campaigns, it was surprising for the club to even consider rumors of the player's move. And again, the Brazilian winger has returned it with a bang, delivering significant performances one after the other in the 2024/25 campaign so far.
In the fixture against Valladolid, Raphinha stood a clear 10/10 for his performance. Scoring his hat trick and being always available for deep runs in the opposition backline, the winger was rightly named as the fixture's MOTM. It felt as if Raphinha's hardworking performances in the club's first three matchdays had finally begun to show up, as everything fell into place for the winger, delivering a masterclass while returning to his conventional wing role.
Registering his first hat trick and an assist against Valladolid, Raphinha now has staggering six-goal contributions for FC Barcelona this season. Clearly, the Brazilian star has been the best Blaugrana player in the club's attack force so far, and many expectations would be for him as he returns to the wing role.
