Barcelona delivered a commanding 5-0 victory over Daegu FC, highlighting the club's strong youth development as they prepare to defend their La Liga title. The match kicked off with explosive energy, and although Daegu attempted an early threat, Barcelona's goalkeeper Joan Garcia responded swiftly to deny the effort. Throughout the first half, 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal showcased exceptional skill, creating numerous opportunities and demonstrating technical brilliance despite not scoring.
Midfielder Gavi opened the scoring in the 21st minute by exploiting the goalkeeper's position, firing a precise shot from outside the box. He further extended Barcelona's lead with a clever chip in stoppage time after a quick counterattack, following an earlier goal by Robert Lewandowski from a cross. The first-half score stood at 3-0.
In the second half, Barcelona rotated their squad, including newly signed loanee Marcus Rashford, who made an immediate impact. Rashford scored his first goal for the club with a powerful shot, contributing to the final scoreline. Late efforts by Pedri and Dani Olmo tested the Daegu goalkeeper, but he remained resilient.
