The Blaugranas, led by coach Hansi Flick, have taken full advantage of Raphinha's impressive form and Lamine Yamal's return to the pitch. Raphinha, the top scorer in the league with five goals, scored a crucial equaliser in the 19th minute and sealed the win with a left-footed shot in the 71st minute. Yamal, who had been struggling with injuries, opened his account in the league with a powerful left-footed shot in the 21st minute, served by Bernal in the box.
The Catalan side has now taken nine points from their first three matches and are level with Real Madrid at the top of the table. Despite a strong performance from Rayo Vallecano's Sergio Camello, who scored a double, the Barça machine proved too strong. The win was sealed with a fifth goal in the 91st minute, courtesy of another powerful left-footed shot from Yamal.
The next step for Barça will be to maintain their momentum and continue to push for the top spot in La Liga.
