Marcus Rashford was a key player for Barcelona, with two early half-chances created for him. Ferran Torres, a former Valencia player, came close to scoring with a clever chip that hit the roof of the net. Roony Bardghji and Fermin Lopez also had chances in the opening 15 minutes, with Barcelona managing seven shots at goal.
Despite having the majority of possession, Barcelona struggled to find a breakthrough against Valencia's stubborn defense. Mouctar Diakhaby stood out for the visitors, who relied on long balls to Hugo Duro. However, just before the half-hour mark, Ferran's exceptional touch set Fermin free to score from a tight angle.
Barcelona continued to dominate possession, but Valencia's defense held strong until the half-hour mark. Eric Garcia's costly back pass was cleared by Pau Cubarsi during injury time, denying Duro a shot.
Barcelona's second goal came early in the second half, with Raphinha scoring after a precise pass from Rashford. Fermin then sealed the game with a thunderbolt, and Valencia shifted to a more defensive approach.
Raphinha scored his second brace of the game, and Lewandowski made his mark after coming on, scoring a fifth goal from Dani Olmo's assist. The Polish international then broke the offside trap to chip home a sixth goal with five minutes remaining.
The win extends Barcelona's impressive home league record in 2025, with 10 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Valencia, on the other hand, will look to respond after managing only two shots in the game.
