The Barcelona vs. Valencia match on September 14, 2025, was a commanding 6-0 victory for Barcelona at the Estadi Johan Cruyff. The win marked Barca first home match of the season as they temporarily played at their training ground stadium due to ongoing renovations at Camp Nou.
Barca took control early, dominating the first half with creative attacking play but not scoring until the 29th minute. Fermín López opened the scoring with a well-placed shot after a clever assist from Ferran Torres. Despite Valencia’s attempts to create chances with long balls, they were unable to penetrate Barcelona’s solid defense.
The second half saw the game open up, with Barcelona quickly doubling their lead when Raphinha converted a dangerous cross from Marcus Rashford. López then added a second goal with a powerful shot from outside the box. Raphinha continued his impressive performance by scoring again after capitalizing on a defensive error by Valencia.

Late in the match, the introduction of Robert Lewandowski paid off handsomely. The veteran striker scored two stunning goals, one with a brilliant finish and another assisted by Marc Bernal, who was making a comeback after a nine-month injury layoff.
The match highlighted Barcelona’s depth and attacking prowess despite missing key player Lamine Yamal due to injury, whose absence coach Hansi Flick criticized in relation to national team commitments. Marcus Rashford also stood out with his decisive assists, marking an important contribution since his arrival.
Valencia, sitting 15th in La Liga at the time, struggled throughout and failed to mount any significant threat, reflecting both their defensive frailties and Barca dominance. The result lifted Barcelona to second place in the Spanish league, just behind Real Madrid, and set them up with confidence ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixture.
