Barcelona 7-2 Racing de Santander: Raphinha treble drives another Camp Nou rout
The result carried Barcelona to 18 points at the top of the table and extended an extraordinary early scoring return: 28 goals in only six league matches. Racing briefly threatened to make the evening awkward, but Barcelona’s response was emphatic each time.
João Cancelo gave the hosts an eighth-minute advantage, collecting a pass from Yamal before driving a powerful effort in from outside the box. Barcelona doubled their lead in the 25th minute when Raphinha converted from the penalty spot.
Racing found a route back through Maguette Gueye five minutes later, reducing the deficit to 2-1. Their momentum did not last. An Asier Villalibre own goal in the 36th minute restored Barcelona’s two-goal cushion, before Raphinha scored again three minutes before the interval to make it 4-1.
Yamal could have put the contest further beyond reach before half-time, but Racing goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala saved his penalty.
Visitors strike again, but Barcelona answer immediately
Racing continued to search for openings after the break and Yassir Zabiri scored their second goal in the 65th minute. Barcelona answered within two minutes. Raphinha stepped up for another penalty, completed his hat-trick and moved the score to 5-2.
Flick used the comfort of the scoreline to make changes, introducing Gabriel Jesus in the 69th minute. The forward needed only 10 minutes to score Barcelona’s sixth, again benefiting from Yamal’s work in the final third.
The teenage winger then added a goal of his own in the 89th minute. Karim Adeyemi led the counterattack and Yamal finished it to complete the 7-2 result, capping an influential individual display in which he was directly involved in several Barcelona goals.
For Flick’s side, the latest heavy win keeps the opening rhythm intact: six matches, six victories and a 28-goal attacking total. Racing left Barcelona having shown moments of resistance, but Camp Nou again belonged to a home side playing with relentless attacking force.
