(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
Barcelona finished their preparations for the new season in style with an amazing 6-0 win over Pumas UNAM in the Joan Gamper Trophy at the Spotify Camp Nou.
The Catalans played some magical football in the first half and continued the fun throughout the 90 minutes, and the home crowd was treated to an incredible show in the preseason finale.
Barça played magical attacking football, scoring four amazing goals in a stretch of play that we might see very few times this season. It was truly breathtaking, with combination play and movement of the very highest level regardless of how weak the Pumas defense looked.
Robert Lewandowski got the party started, scoring his first goal for the club in amazing fashion after a great assist by Pedri and an incredible finish from an improbable angle; Lewa then returned the favor just one minute later and assisted Pedri who rounded the keeper before scoring against an empty net.
Five minutes after that it was time for Raphinha and Ousmane Dembélé to join the party as the Brazilian came up with the assist and the Frenchman fired the ball home with a powerful low shot.
Even though the pace slowed down quite a bit the Blaugrana continued to dominate possession and create chances, and the sixth goal came when Frenkie De Jong stole the ball from a Pumas player in midfield and found the back of the net with a nice finish.
The final whistle came a few minutes later, and Barça have won the Gamper with their best performance of this preseason and look very, very good ahead of the new campaign. The signings look like a perfect fit, and this team is pretty strong right now.
