Barça smash Valencia 5-0 to extend their perfect La Liga start

Barcelona kept their unbeaten start intact with a 5-0 thrashing of Valencia at Mestalla, led by Lamine Yamal’s brace (one offside) and goals from Fermín López, Raphinha and Pedri as they dominated from the opening whistle. Rodri bossed midfield, Gabriel Jesus made his Barca debut as part of six changes, and Dimitrievski briefly kept the scoreline from escalating further while Valencia’s defense struggled. An early collision left Eric García with a broken nose, but Barça sealed the win to go three points clear at the top.
