Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez star as Barcelona run riot at Valencia

What the report says

Barcelona produced a dominant away performance on Sunday, September 6, 2026, beating Valencia 5-0 in La Liga, according to Al Jazeera’s report based on Reuters. Lamine Yamal scored twice, while Fermin Lopez was central to much of Barcelona’s attack, scoring once and assisting two other goals. Raphinha and Pedri also found the net as the Spanish champions kept their perfect start to the season intact.

The match in Valencia was effectively decided early. Yamal opened the scoring inside six minutes after finishing a Fermin pass, and Fermin added a second in the first half with a shot from outside the area. Barcelona continued to control the game after the break, with Fermin again setting up Raphinha before Pedri added a fourth late on. Yamal then completed the scoring with his second goal near the end.

The result left Barcelona top of the La Liga table on 12 points from four matches, three ahead of Real Madrid. Valencia, by contrast, remained bottom with one point and never appeared close to taking anything from the contest. The report also noted a debut appearance for a new Barcelona signing from Arsenal, underlining the depth in a squad that has started the campaign strongly.
