Barcelona thrashed Racing de Santander 7-2 at the Spotify Camp Nou on Wednesday in LaLiga's sixth matchday, extending the club's unbeaten start to the season to six straight wins.
Joao Cancelo opened the scoring in the 7th minute and Raphinha doubled the lead in the 24th. Racing's Maguette Gueye pulled one back in the 29th minute, but Barcelona answered immediately: Cancelo struck again in the 35th minute and Raphinha added his second in the 41st, sending the sides in at halftime with Barcelona ahead 4-1.
Raphinha, the Brazil forward who joined Barcelona from Leeds United in 2022, has become one of coach Hansi Flick's key attacking players. The German coach, who took charge of Barcelona in 2024 after previously managing Bayern Munich and Germany's national team, fielded a side that kept pressing for goals throughout heavy rain at the Camp Nou.
Second-half goals seal the rout
Mohamed Zabiri narrowed the gap for Racing to 4-2 in the 64th minute, but the visitors could not sustain their response. Two minutes later, Raphinha converted a penalty to complete his hat-trick and restore Barcelona's four-goal cushion. Gabriel Jesus extended the lead to 6-2 in the 79th minute as Barcelona continued to dominate possession, and Lamine Yamal closed out the scoring in the 89th minute to make it 7-2.
The result left Barcelona top of LaLiga with 18 points from a possible 18, a perfect record through six rounds of the 2026/27 season.
