Barcelona 5-0 Valencia (Feb 6, 2025) Game Analysis
Forward Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick in the first 30 minutes to lead an imperious Barcelona to a 5-0 rout of Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals on Thursday.
Playing in his home town against his childhood club, Torres scored from a quick counter-attack in the second minute and extended the lead in the 17th when he fired home a rebound from a Lamine Yamal strike that ricocheted off the post.
Fermin Lopez scored the third in another counter five minutes later and Torres gave Barca a four-goal lead on the half-hour mark with a strike from the edge of the box.
The visitors took their foot off the gas after the break but Yamal still added a fifth goal in the 52nd minute.
