Barcelona re-exhibited their offensive power with a strong 7-2 victory over Santander Racing at Camp Nou. The team led by Hansi Flickined its perfect move this season and achieved the club’s best start among all competitions.
Raphinha, with a triplete, was the great protagonist of the scoring, while Joao Cancelo, Gabriel Jesus and Lamine Yamal also found the net.
The result allowed the blaugrana team to reach seven triumphs in their first seven official matches: six corresponding to LaLiga and one to the Champions League. In that round, the Barça scored 33 goals for and seven against.
The rains started at the eighth minute. Joao Cancelo received the ball in the front of the area and took a powerful shot that struck the cross before finishing in the back of the goal defended by Agirrezabala.

The Racing tried to respond, but found enormous difficulties to overcome Barcelona’s pressure. Each recovery of the local team quickly became an opportunity to attack the spaces left by the Cantabra defense.
Pedro Felipe knocked down Raphinha inside the area when the Brazilian was heading to the bow after receiving a filtered pass from Pedri.
Raphinha deceived the goalkeeper and scored 2-0.

The Racing managed to discount in the 21st minute through Maguette, taking advantage of a Barcelona loss near their own area.
Cancelo reappeared with a shot from outside the area that turned away in Villalibre to become the 3-1. Before the break, Raphinha signed his second goal after a great combination between Rodri, Adeyemi and Olmo.
The Brazilian got in a favorable position and defined with a straight shot to place the 4-1.

The scoring could have been even broader before the break. Barcelona had a penalty provoked by a lack of Pedro Felipe over Adeyemi, but this time Agirrezabala appeared to stop the shot of Lamine Yamal.
The gunman of the Racing was one of the main responsible for his team coming to the entertainment with a disadvantage of three goals. His interventions also prevented the occasions generated by Olmo and Adeyemi from ending up in new notes.
The intensity of the match was accompanied by complicated weather conditions in Barcelona. The Civil Protection alert for flood risk caused intermittent rain and electrical activity during the meeting, although this did not modify the approach of the bluegrana set.
Flick decided to withdraw Joan Garcia during the rest for caution and gave entry to Szczesny.
The Racing had a clear chance to reduce the difference when Arana shot out from an unbeatable position.
The Cantabria team returned to partially get into the match at minute 65. Szczesny had a problem when trying to control the ball inside the area and Zabiri took advantage of the mistake to score 4-2.
The response from Barcelona was immediate.
Adeyemi provoked a new penalty after receiving a lack from Iker Luque and Raphinha re-imposed from the eleven meters. The Brazilian again deceived Agirrezabala to complete his triplete and put the 5-2 in the 67th minute.

With the match virtually decided, Flick began to move his pieces again.Balde had his first minutes of the season and Gabriel Jesus needed barely one intervention to score.
The Brazilian took advantage of his income to convert the 6-2 to the 79th minute and increase the Barcelona advantage even more.
After several attempts, Lamine Yamal finally found the prize to his insistence and defined a game built with Adeyemi’s assistance.
