Valencia 3 - 1 Barcelona : Lewandowski scores in farewell as Barcelona lose to Valencia

Valencia scored twice in the space of five second-half minutes as they came from behind to beat LaLiga champions Barcelona 3-1, although it was not enough to earn them European qualification on the final day of the season.

Robert Lewandowski marked his final Barcelona appearance with a goal as the veteran Poland striker put the champions ahead just after the hour mark.

But only five minutes later Javi Guerra levelled for the hosts with a nice finish, and four minutes after that they were ahead.

Following neat work from Jesús Vázquez, Guerra saw his shot charged down but the ball fell for Luis Rioja who fired a left-footed shot beyond Wojciech Szczesny.

Valencia then thought they had a penalty when Marc Bernal brought down Vázquez, but a VAR check showed the incident happened outside the box.

Instead, the third goal arrived deep into stoppage time when Guido Rodríguez found the net from outside the box.

The hosts hung on to claim the three points, but Getafe's win over Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano's victory at Alaves kept them out of the European places.

Barcelona 2 - 0 Athletic Club : Rodri debuts as Barcelona beat Athletic to continue hot start

Rodri made a winning return to LaLiga as Barcelona beat Athletic Club 2-0 at Camp Nou on Thursday thanks to goals from Raphinha and Fermín López.

World Cup-winner Rodri, signed from Manchester City for a total package worth €76.5 million ($89m) earlier this month, made his Barça debut off the bench after Raphinha's third goal in two matches had given his side a 1-0 interval lead.

Barça spurned a number of chances and Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simón pulled off several top-class saves before Fermín sealed a second LaLiga win in five days for the reigning champions.

The result extended Barcelona's home winning streak in LaLiga to 20 matches, its longest such run since winning 25 straight home games between Nov. 2012 and Jan. 2014.

Barcelona 5 - 2 Rayo Vallecano : Raphinha, Yamal doubles see Barcelona continue hot start

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal both scored twice as Barcelona breezed back to the top of LaLiga with a 5-2 win over Rayo Vallecano at the Nou Camp.

Winless Rayo gave the hosts a mighty scare when Sergio Camello fired them in front after 12 minutes, but Raphinha soon levelled and Yamal put Barça in front with 21 minutes on the clock.

Hansi Flick's side has now scored 12 goals in its first three games of the season.

The sublime strike by Spain World Cup winner Yamal to restore Barcelona's lead in the first half was his first goal of the 2026-27 campaign and there was more to come.

Florian Lejeune's own goal extended the home side's lead early in the second half, and after Camello scored his second, further goals from Raphinha and Yamal preserved their 100 percent start to the campaign.

Lamine Yamal scored twice as Barcelona opened up a three-point gap at the top of LaLiga by thumping Valencia 5-0 at the Mestalla.

Barça were looking to take advantage of Real Madrid slipping to defeat on Friday night and they did so in style, sending out a strong statement.

Yamal bagged a double, and had a third disallowed, with Fermín López, Raphinha and Pedri also on the scoresheet as Hansi Flick's side ran riot.

The rout made it four wins from four for the defending champions, who have already scored 17 goals and are looking very much the part in the early stages of the season.

Barcelona 5 - 1 Feyenoord Rotterdam : Raphinha leads Barcelona thrashing of Feyenoord

Raphinha let his goals do the talking after being omitted from the Ballon d'Or shortlist, striking twice as Barcelona eased to a 5-1 win over Feyenoord in the Champions League.

The Brazilian was a surprise omission from this week's 30-strong list of candidates for the prestigious award but brushed any disappointment aside to continue his early season hot streak at a rain-soaked Nou Camp.

The forward finished brilliantly in the third minute and added a second just before the hour mark to down the Eredivisie side and take his personal tally to eight goals in six outings at the start of the 2026/27 campaign.

Summer signing Karim Adeyemi produced a stunning finish, Lamine Yamal stroked a free kick through a gap in the Dutch wall and recent arrival Gabriel Jesus opened his account for the club just two minutes after stepping off the bench.

There was little to celebrate for Giovanni van Bronckhorst on his Barça return but Sem Steijn gave the visiting fans something to enjoy when he poked in at far post late on.

Levante 2 - 4 Barcelona : Lamine Yamal brace helps free-scoring Barcelona overcome Levante

Lamine Yamal fired a double as Barcelona won 4-2 at Levante to extend their 100% start in LaLiga this season to five matches and move three points clear at the top.

Xavi Espart gave Barça an early lead via a deflection and Yamal struck either side of the interval, his second from the penalty spot, to put the visitors firmly in control.

Levante were rewarded for a spirited display with late goals from substitute Iván Romero and Roger Brugué to set up a grandstand finish, but Karim Adeyemi stepped off the bench to add Barça's fourth in stoppage time.

Barcelona 7 - 2 Racing Santander : Raphinha bags hat-trick in Barcelona's 7-goal rout of Santander

Barcelona thrashed Racing Santander 7-2 on Wednesday to make it seven wins at the start of a season for the first time in their history.

It was yet another scintillating Camp Nou show from Barcelona, who re-established their three-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga.

Raphinha scored a hat trick, two coming from the penalty spot, as Barcelona led 4-1 at halftime.

João Cancelo began yet another Barcelona goal glut with a spectacular 25-yard strike, and another long-range effort from the Portuguese deflected off Asier Villalibre and was credited as an own goal.

Gabriel Jesus and Lamine Yamal -- who had failed to convert a first-half penalty -- completed the rout.

Maguette Gueye and Yassir Zabiri provided Santander with some cheer, but Barcelona were rampant and have now scored 33 goals this season at a rate of nearly five per game.

Sevilla 1 - 3 Barcelona : Raphinha scores second hat-trick in two games as Barcelona beat Sevilla

Raphinha scored a second consecutive hat-trick as Barcelona came from behind to beat Sevilla 3-1 and extend their winning start to eight straight games.

Only three days after scoring three in Barca's 7-2 rout of Racing Santander, the 29-year-old moved to 14 goals for the season in all competitions with another stunning display.

Youssouf Fofana had headed the hosts in front in the 19th minute but Raphinha led a swift and decisive response from the champions.

Barcelona 3 - 0 Getafe : Anthony Gordon opens Barcelona account in win against Getafe

Anthony Gordon's first Barcelona goal, scored in the second minute, set the LaLiga leaders on their way to a comfortable 3-0 win over Getafe at the Nou Camp.

England winger Gordon had again impressed for Thomas Tuchel's side over the international break and his deflected strike fired Barca ahead inside 80 seconds.

Gabriel Jesus added a second on the half-hour after Getafe were caught playing out from the back.

Jules Koundé knocked in a late third as Hansi Flick's side closed out an eighth league win to maintain their perfect start to the new campaign in all competitions.

Galatasaray 1 - 4 Barcelona : Barcelona storm back to beat Gala as perfect season rolls on

Anthony Gordon scored his first Champions League goal for Barcelona as they came from behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1 in Istanbul to maintain a perfect 10-for-10 start to the season.

Despite easing to a comfortable victory in the end, Hansi Flick's side had looked in serious trouble in Turkey when, having fallen behind to a first-half goal from Aleksey Batrakov, the home side had a second disallowed before the break following a protracted VAR check.

That stirred Barca into life. On the stroke of halftime, Lamine Yamal lost possession and the ball broke to João Cancelo who levelled.

The second half was a canter. Fermín López put the visitors into the lead five minutes after the re-start before Gordon continued his fine start to life in Catalonia to open his European account on his first Champions League start and finally give Barca breathing room.

Karim Adeyemi smashed across goal and into the bottom corner to end the game as a contest in the 65th minute.

Real Betis 2 - 5 Barcelona : Yamal helps Barcelona match best ever LaLiga start ahead of El Clásico

Barcelona equalled the best start to a LaLiga season in history by claiming a ninth successive win in a fiery 5-2 win over 10-man Real Betis.

Lamine Yamal inspired the victory, which saw Hansi Flick's side match a record set by Real Madrid back in the 1968-69 season.

Yamal scored a brilliant opener and set up Gabriel Jesus for the third, with Rodri netting his first for Barça and Eric García and Dani Olmo also on target.

Betis went into the match in third place and scored through Valentín Gómez and Abde Ezzalzouli but, moments after the latter had pulled it back to 3-2, Facundo Bernal was shown a red card for tangling with Yamal.

The result was the ideal way to kick off a big week for Barça, who play Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League before taking on Madrid in the league next weekend.
