Barcelona rout Racing Santander 7-2 as Joao Cancelo scores twice on his first La Liga start of the season and Raphinha leads from the front as Barca unleash rapid transitions and relentless pressing, cementing Flick’s attack-minded approach while Balde’s late cameo hints at squad depth.
Barcelona extended their La Liga winning streak to five with a 4-2 win over Levante, powered by Lamine Yamal’s two goals after Xavi Espart opened the scoring; a poor Espart pass gifted Levante a goal, and Hansi Flick said the first goal was his fault for delaying a substitution on a dry pitch, while Adeyemi came off the bench to seal the victory and earned praise for his focus.
Barcelona routed Basel 5-2 in a Swiss preseason friendly, with Adeyemi opening his Barça account and Yamal adding a late penalty as the attack looked fluid in a rotated 4-3-3 setup; Abdelkarim scored early in the second half and Jesse Bisiwu capped the win with a late brace.
Barcelona unveiled Karim Adeyemi as their latest signing for about $25m plus $8m in add-ons, signing through 2031 and stressing he can play anywhere in attack, a move driven by coach Hansi Flick. Barça still pursue a world-class No.9 to replace Lewandowski, but Julián Álvarez’s move remains complicated due to Atlético Madrid, prompting the club to consider alternatives like Anthony Gordon, João Pedro, Ferran Torres or Dani Olmo if no elite striker materializes. Adeyemi’s versatility could see him contesting the central role alongside Barça’s wingers under Flick’s plan.
