Brazil winger Raphinha scored a hat-trick for Barcelona as the Spanish giant defeated Real Valladolid in an embarrassing 7-0 win on Saturday to make it four victories from the four games that they have played in La Liga season under new coach Hansi Flick.
Raphinha scored the first goal at the Olympic Stadium that hit the net 20 minutes into the game as he chested down a pass that came from teammate Pau Cubarsi and flicked elegantly into the far corner with the outside of his left boot.
Not too long later, striker Robert Lewandowski scored another goal that made it two to nil when he converted an assist from Lamine Yamal and squeezed a shot past Valladolid goalkeeper Karl Hein.
Just before the end of the first half, Jules Kounde netted another goal that made it three when a corner dropped to his side inside the area, and he kicked the ball into the net, displacing the goalkeeper.
The Brazil winger, Raphina, had a simple tap-in that came in from close range just past the hour, with both Lewandowski and Yamal involved before the ball smoothly came to his side.
He had already scored the hat-trick at 72 minutes after a brilliant assist came from youngster Yamal, who gave a very interesting pass for Raphinha to add to the numbers of their goals.
Dani Olmo gave his final contribution as he dribbled a series of defenders and also found the net to make it six goals in favor of Barcelona.
Raphinha not only scored; he also contributed assists, one of which led to the last goal for Ferran Torres as Barcelona hit a seventh.
