Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski Make La Liga History
FC Barcelona produced one of their most dominant performances of the season with a crushing 6–0 win over Valencia — but it was Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski who stole the headlines by setting a new La Liga record.
Both forwards came off the bench to score braces — marking the first time in 21st-century La Liga history that two substitutes from the same team have each scored twice in a single match.
Raphinha entered the pitch at half-time and struck twice in quick succession, netting in the 53rd and 66th minutes. Lewandowski replaced Ferran Torres in the 67th minute and found the net in the 76th and 86th minutes, completing his own double with ruthless efficiency.
It was a night to remember, with manager Hansi Flick watching his team deliver their most emphatic La Liga win since August 2024 — when Barcelona hammered Villarreal 7–0.
