However, opposition goalkeeper Joan Garc\u00eda reacted quickly, coming out to clear the ball with his feet.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02394.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it was FC Barcelona who took the lead with a goal from Lamine Yamal, who flicked the ball into the net after a ball over the top of the Valencia CF defence.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02391.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Two minutes later, a second goal for Lamine Yamal was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.<\/p>\n<p>The reaction was several attacks on Joan Garc\u00eda&#8217;s goal, but they couldn&#8217;t find the equaliser. In another blow, Ferm\u00edn scored FC Barcelona\u2019s second goal with a shot inside the far post, past Dimitrievski.<\/p>\n<p>The Valencia CF goalkeeper prevented the score from moving to 3-0 with a brilliant save from a Lamine Yamal shot.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02392.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After thirty minutes, Valencia CF had a clear chance through Danjuma, but Joan Garc\u00eda ended up making the save. Five minutes later, Lamine Yamal came close to scoring his second, and Ferm\u00edn also had an opportunity, with Dimitrievski keeping the effort out with his foot.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02398.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In stoppage time, Valencia CF could have reduced the deficit when Danjuma broke into the FC Barcelona penalty area, but his low shot was stopped by Joan Garc\u00eda. In the ensuing move, Dimitrievski had to intervene again with a save of his own. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the restart, FC Barcelona put Valencia CF on the defensive. A run from Lamine Yamal ended in him laying the ball off to Anthony Gordon, who struck wide.<\/p>\n<p>Valencia CF went 0-3 down when Lamine Yamal released Ferm\u00edn on the counter, and his cross in was met by Raphinha.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02395.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A clearance was required off another run inside and shot by Raphinha. Looking for something new, Corber\u00e1n made a triple substitution, replacing Pepelu, Maffeo and V\u00e1zquez with T\u00e1rrega, Gay\u00e0 and the debuting Harvey Elliot.<\/p>\n<p>More changes followed just after the hour, with the introduction of Cordoba and Sato in place of Diakhaby and Javi Guerra.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02400.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Looking for a replica of their third goal, FC Barcelona attacked through Lamine Yamal and Fermin in a chance on 66 minutes, but Raphinha did not reach the ball across.<\/p>\n<p>Valencia CF tried constant attacks with Otorbi\u2019s pace down the right, albeit without success in the final third. After a tremendous effort for 75 minutes, he was withdrawn for the final quarter hour, replaced by out-and-out striker Hugo Duro.<\/p>\n<p>Before the end, FC Barcelona made it 0-4 through Pedri, playing a one-two with Dani Olmo and finishing off the chance. They then increased the advantage further through Lamine Yamal\u2019s second of the afternoon, taking the final score to 0-5.<\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/webvcfbarcacronica02399.jpg\" class=\"image\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next up for Valencia CF is an away trip against Sevilla FC on September 11th, at the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez-Pizju\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p>0.
