So far, no slip-ups. Barcelona secured their first major victory under Flick's management

In the fourth round of La Liga, Barcelona obliterated Valladolid at home. The vice-champions of Spain scored seven unanswered goals against their modest opponents, securing their first dominant victory under Hansi Flick's leadership.

There was no real intrigue in this match. The Catalans dismantled their opponents in the first half, heading into the break with a 3-0 lead. The demolition continued after halftime, with the hosts playing with flair. Raphinha contributed the most to Valladolid's defeat, scoring a hat-trick and providing two assists. Robert Lewandowski also found the back of the net, while Lamine Yamal recorded three assists. Additionally, summer signing Dani Olmo found the net again.

This marked Barcelona's fourth consecutive victory, but their next match will be their first real test. After the international break, they will face Girona in the Catalan derby. Notably, Barcelona lost both head-to-head matches against Girona last season.
