Raphinha scored a hat trick and provided two assists to inspire an imperious Barcelona to a 7-0 rout of Real Valladolid in the LaLiga on Saturday.
Barcelona will go to the international break on top of the table having earned a perfect 12 points from four games, five ahead of second-placed Villarreal and seven clear of bitter rivals Real Madrid in fourth, both with a game in hand.
The hosts opened a three-goal lead in the first half with strikes by Raphinha in the 20th minute, Robert Lewandowski in the 24th and Jules Koundé in added time.
Raphinha scored twice to extend Barça’s lead and assisted Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres to complete the drubbing.
