Barcelona is a goal-scoring machine
Another rout for Flick's team, which secured its seventh victory in a competitive match this season. They have scored 28 goals in La Liga. Raphinha scored twice and has pulled ahead in the Pichichi race with nine goals
Raphinha scored a hat trick as Barcelona earned yet another big win on Wednesday, routing Racing Santander 7-2 for its sixth victory in six Spanish League matches. Lamine Yamal also found the net for Barcelona, which has scored at least five goals in five of its seven matches across all competitions this season. With his hat trick, Raphinha took his league-leading tally to nine goals in six matches. The Brazil forward has scored a goal in all but one game this season . Gabriel Jesus and João Cancelo also scored for Barcelona, which also got an own-goal from Racing’s Asier Villalibre. Maguette Gueye and Yassir Zabiri scored for the visitor. Barcelona has only failed to score less than four goals this season in a 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao. Yamal had a goal disallowed for offside, missed a penalty and hit the post before finally scoring late for Barcelona. The La Liga champion has also crushed Elche, Rayo Vallecano and Valencia in the league, and Feyenoord in the Champions League. Hansi Flick's team has outscored opponents 33-7 in seven games across all competitions. Barcelona has a three-point league lead over Real Madrid, which won at Elche on Tuesday. Barcelona goalkeeper Joan García was replaced by Wojciech Szczesny at halftime because of an apparent injury. Szczesny's blunder led to a Racing goal after the goalkeeper tried to control the ball inside the area and was robbed in front of the net.
