- 3' Frenkie de Jong doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 8' Ferran Torres does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Barcelona surge ahead!

- 29' Gaya is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Valencia CF so far.
- 33' That looks like a foul for a card for Wojciech Szczesny.
- 38' It’s high time Hansi Flick made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 43' FC Barcelona are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Valencia CF backline.
- 48' It looks like no one’s ball. Valencia CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 49' Fermin Lopez adds to his 0 season tally! FC Barcelona lead 5-0 — and this changes everything.

- 65' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 88' The 22-year-old Alex Balde has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Valencia CF.
