Barcelona delivered a commanding performance as they thrashed Valencia 5-0 at Mestalla Stadium on February 6, 2025, securing their place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Ferran Torres was the standout player, netting a first-half hat-trick against his former club, while FermÃn López and Lamine Yamal also got on the scoresheet.
The match started with Barcelona asserting control early on. In just the 3rd minute, Alejandro Balde provided a precise assist to Torres, who finished clinically to open the scoring. The Spanish forward doubled his tally in the 15th minute before completing his hat-trick by the 30th minute. FermÃn López added a goal in the 23rd minute, and Lamine Yamal sealed the dominant win with a strike in the 59th minute.
This victory comes just days after Barcelona’s emphatic 7-1 La Liga win over Valencia on January 26, highlighting their attacking strength. The loss further deepened Valencia’s struggles, with their fans visibly frustrated during the game.
With this result, Barcelona joins Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, with the draw set to take place on February 12, 2025. Ferran Torres' remarkable display was particularly notable, as he refrained from celebrating out of respect for Valencia, the club where he started his professional career.
Under the management of Hansi Flick, Barcelona continues to show their attacking depth and determination as they push for silverware across multiple competitions.
