In addition to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang's brace, Barcelona's Frankie de Jong and Pedri scored for Barcelona, while Valencia's Carlos Soler scored for Valencia. 

On this occasion, the scoreboard did reflect what was experienced on the pitch, in a duel in which it was clear that "Auba" was the last missing cog in FC Barcelona's attacking machine. 

Aubameyang opened the scoring and finished it off with a brace

The match started with a lot of dynamism from both teams and Valencia looked confident and confident to give a good game, but a few minutes into the match, the abysmal difference between one team and the other became apparent. 

With great individual action, Aubameyang gave the Culés the lead and opened the score 1-0 with great individual action, thanks to Jordi Alba's assist from a through ball, "Auba" struck a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the right corner, beating goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The Mestalla side had not yet recovered from the first goal of the match and tried again to go forward, but in the 32nd minute, Frenkie De Jong scored with an assist from Ousmane Dembélé, who shot with his right foot from very close to the opponent's goal on the right side, making it 2-0.

Valencia wanted to go forward again and almost scored when Bryan Gil's cross into the Barcelona box, was headed by Omar Alderete from the center of the box that went just wide of the post. 

The shot went wide but showed that José Bordalás' club wanted to compete with Los Culés. However, in the 38th minute, Aubameyang would score again thanks to an assist from Gavi.

The player shot very close to the opponent's goal with his right foot, to the center of the goal, making the score 3-0. This did not discourage the home team, who, through Carlos Soler, tried again and in the 41st minute his goal was disallowed by the VAR. 

Valencia tried to get back into the game, but Barcelona prevented them from doing so

Again Carlos Soler went on the attack and this time, thanks to a cross from Gil, he headed from the center of the box into the center of the goal, closing the gap and making the score 3-1 in the 52nd minute.

With this, Valencia thought they could go for the equalizer, but a great shot by Pedri in the 63rd minute, Barcelona sentenced the match 4-1.

It should be clarified that the match report states that this goal was the result of a cross from Pedri to Aubameyang, but what happened was that the former made a great shot at the Valencia goal, which bounced off "Auba", and then entered Mamardashvili's goal.

This was the end of the match, which has Los Culés in 4th place in the competition, while Valencia is in 12th place.
