Barcelona’s internal scoring race shifted again on Saturday as the champions delivered a dominant 4-0 win over Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Club.

Hansi Flick’s side, eager to re-establish form, controlled the game from start to finish, securing a routine victory that reaffirmed their firepower across the frontline.

Lewandowski opens the floodgates

Robert Lewandowski struck first, putting Barcelona ahead and temporarily moving clear as the club’s leading scorer this season with eight goals.

That lead in the scoring charts proved short-lived. Ferran Torres equalised Lewandowski’s tally just before halftime, doubling Barça’s advantage with a decisive finish.

The Spanish international then sealed the match late on, converting after another superb delivery from Lamine Yamal, but this was before Fermin Lopez found the net just three minutes into the second half.

The brace pushed Ferran to nine goals for the campaign, reclaiming the top scorer position.

Barcelona’s comprehensive performance not only delivered three points but also showed the squad’s attacking depth.
