FC Barcelona roared back to life in LaLiga EA Sports with a commanding 7-1 victory over Valencia CF at Montjuic on Matchday 21. Hansi Flick’s men ended their winless run in style, delivering a performance that showcased relentless attacking prowess and resolute control. Frenkie de Jong opened the scoring within two minutes, setting the tone for a match where the Blaugrana dominated from start to finish.
This emphatic win could not have come at a better time for Barcelona, who had not secured a league victory since December 3rd. The result also brings them within three points of Atlético Madrid, who faltered in their most recent match. Fans were treated to a dazzling display of form that revived optimism about Barcelona’s title aspirations.
Carlos Corberán’s Valencia side struggled to cope with Barcelona’s high press and sharp movement, succumbing to relentless waves of attacks. By halftime, the match was effectively out of reach, with Barcelona holding a comfortable lead. Despite sporadic attempts to regain control, Valencia’s defense was repeatedly breached in the second half, leaving them with no chance of a comeback.
