Reigning La Liga champions FC Barcelona delivered a thrilling attacking display on Thursday as they ran out 7–3 winners against FC Seoul in a high-scoring pre-season friendly in South Korea.
The Spanish giants wasted little time imposing their dominance, with Robert Lewandowski opening the scoring in the 8th minute after a swift team move.
Lamine Yamal, the teenage sensation, quickly added to the tally with a brace, scoring in the 14th minute and again in first-half stoppage time (45+3’). His second came just moments after Seoul’s Al-Arab had equalised in the 45th minute, capping off a frenetic end to the half.
Earlier, Young-Wook had also scored for FC Seoul in the 26th minute, briefly levelling the score at 1–1 before Barcelona pulled away.
Second-Half Show Seals It for Barça
After the break, Andreas Christensen restored Barcelona’s momentum with a 55th-minute strike, making it 4–2 and setting the stage for an onslaught of late goals.
Ferran Torres added his name to the scoresheet with a composed finish in the 74th minute, followed swiftly by a goal from Gavi just two minutes later. Torres then rounded off his performance with his second goal of the night in the 88th minute, completing a fine individual outing.
Jung Han-Min managed a late consolation for FC Seoul in the 85th minute, but it did little to dampen the atmosphere created by Barcelona’s fluid and dominant performance.
Pre-Season Positives for Xavi’s Men
The 10-goal thriller gave head coach Hansi Flick plenty to be pleased with, especially the sharpness of key attackers and the impact of young talents like Lamine Yamal.
The result continues Barça’s preparations for the new season, with upcoming tests likely to offer further opportunities to assess squad depth and match fitness.
