Brazilian Raphinha scored the first three-goal game of his professional career.
Barcelona won the previous three matches with the same result of 2:1, but this time they did not have to worry about three points.
Raphinha opened the scoring in the 20th minute when he ran onto a cross behind the defense and finished accurately. Robert Lewandowski, the top scorer of the competition with four goals, immediately made his mark in almost the same way.
Before the break, Jules Koundé scored from a corner kick and after the change of sides he completed the first hat-trick in his professional career.
In the end, Ferfan Torres and Dani Olmo added more goals, who also scored in his second game after transferring from RB Leipzig. It was Raphinha who assisted both of them.
New coach Hans-Dieter Flick has won his first four league games on the bench for the Catalan giants, which Ernesto Valverde last managed in the 2017/18 season.
