It was a real knockout! Barcelona sent his rival to the boards at the beginning of the clash, and then calmly controlled him. Barca won with Valencia 7: 1 and thus won one of the easiest victories this season and interrupted the fatal series in the league. She won only once in eight matches in Laliga, and in the last four matches she did not win.

Thanks to the breakup of Valencia, she returned to third place in the table, because earlier on Sunday he dropped her from the Podium Athletic Bilbao. It has 42 points seven less than Real, and he loses three “stitches” to Atletico. Athletic left two points behind her back.

Barca coach Hansi Flick surprised everyone with eleven. There was one Pole in the composition, but not the one that everyone expected. Robert Lewandowski sat on the bench, and Wojciech Szczęsny appeared in the composition, even though he was at fault with two goals in the match against Benfica (5: 4) in the Champions League.

Thus he made his debut in Laliga. But Lewandowski for the second time in the league and for the third time, counting all games, he sat on the bench this season. Flick gave him a rest. Barcelona wins high without a Pole this season, so it was with Mallorca (5: 1) in the league and Betis (5: 1) in the king’s cup. Then he did not appear on the pitch at all, now he entered after an hour at 5: 1.

Four changes in the composition of Barcelona

Planting on Lewandowski’s bench was not the only change. In addition, in defense of Eric Garcia replaced Ronald Araujo, in the middle of the field Frenkie de Jong and Fermin Lopez took the place of the sick Pedri and Gavi.

Flick could recognize that he would manage the penultimate in the table by giving some players, including Lewandowski. On Wednesday before Barcelona, ​​a difficult match with Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League. It is true that she has already secured a promotion to the 1/8 finals, but it aims to maintain the second position in the final league phase table.

Barcelona started the concert in the third minute. Lamine Yamal played to de Jonga, and he hit the net. Five minutes later, Alejandro Balde centered, and Ferran Torres increased to 2: 0. He did not enjoy the goal because he is a pupil of Valencia and it was there that he began his professional career.

After less than a quarter of an hour it was basically after the match. Fermin Lopez played to Raphinhi, he passed the goalkeeper Giorgio Mamardaszwili and sent the ball to the empty goal.

Another mistake by Wojciech Szczęsny. VAR saved him

However, this was not the end. Fermin Lopez after a great pass of Pau Cubarski raised from the depths of the field to 4: 0, but the judge assistant raised the flag. However, after the analysis of VAR, Gol was recognized.

In the 33rd minute Szczęsny made a mistake in his style again. Again, he badly assessed the situation and fouled Hugo Duro in the penalty area. The judge showed him a yellow card and whistled eleven. The Pole again showed that he could not cope with the outputs from the goal, as before in the match against Benfica and the finals of the Spanish Super Cup with Real, when he unnecessarily left the goal and fouled Kyliana Mbappe, for which he looked at the red card. Fortunately, earlier, when Valencia started counterattack, Jose Gaya fouled Jules Kounded. The judge was called by VAR to the monitor, looked at this situation and dismissed the penalty.

At the end of the added time, Raphinha hit the post, but the ball fell under Fermin’s feet, which raised to 5: 0.

After the break, Barcelona controlled the fate of the match, but Valencia fought honestly so that the defeat was as severe as possible. And in the 59th minute Barcelona surprised, Szczęsny defeated Hugo Duro.

Robert Lewandowski came from the bench

A moment later, Lewandowski appeared on the pitch, who came from the bench for the first time this season. He only needed five minutes to hit the net. He was played by Fermin playing a great match, the Pole did not get caught on the burnt and hit the net from a dozen or so meters.

This is the 17th goal this season Laliga. Thanks to this, he jumped a bit from Kylian Mbappe, who is recently in great form and in the classification of shooters has been a step behind the Pole. On Saturday he showed off a hat-trick in the match against Real Valladolid and already had 15 goals, only one less than Lewandowski.

However, this was not the end of Barcelona’s performances. A quarter of an hour before the end he shot Ferran Torres from a sharp corner, and Cesar Tarrega cut his shot and directed the ball to his own goal.

There were no more goals, Barcelona won 7: 1.
