Barcelona Dominates Valencia with a 5-0 Victory in Copa del Rey Quarter-Finals
Barcelona delivered a dominant performance against Valencia, securing a 5-0 victory in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals at the Mestalla on Thursday night. Ferran Torres, starting in place of Robert Lewandowski, stole the show with a first-half hat-trick, while Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal added to the scoreline to seal Barcelona’s place in the semi-finals.
Torres opened the scoring just three minutes into the match, capitalizing on a precise pass from Alejandro Balde. The former Valencia player doubled Barcelona’s lead in the 17th minute with a clinical finish, and Fermin Lopez made it 3-0 six minutes later after a sublime assist from Pedri. Torres completed his hat-trick on the half-hour mark, finishing off a well-worked team move. Valencia, struggling in La Liga this season, were booed off the pitch at halftime.
The second half saw little improvement for the hosts. Lamine Yamal added a fifth goal in the 59th minute with a deflected effort, capping off a comprehensive victory. Valencia briefly thought they had pulled one back through Umar Sadiq, but the goal was ruled offside. Barcelona’s defense, led by Inaki Pena and a rotated backline, remained solid throughout the match.
Barcelona’s head coach, Hansi Flick, made several changes to the starting lineup, including resting key players like Lewandowski and Ronald Araujo, with an eye on upcoming fixtures. The decision paid off as Barcelona cruised to victory, showcasing their depth and attacking prowess. The team will now await the semi-final draw, where they could face Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, or Real Sociedad.
The result highlighted Barcelona’s strength in depth, with Torres proving his worth as a reliable alternative to Lewandowski. The win also extended Barcelona’s impressive form in the Copa del Rey, keeping their hopes of silverware alive this season.
