Barcelona thrash Valencia, PSG keep winning run
Barcelona crushed Valencia 6-0 in their first home game of the season. Fermín López, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski all scored twice as Barça climbed to second in La Liga with 10 points, two behind leaders Real Madrid. Valencia dropped to 15th.
López opened the scoring in the first half, but it was after the break when Barcelona’s attack took control. Raphinha scored a brace soon after coming on, López added his second, and Lewandowski wrapped up the rout with two close-range strikes.
In Italy, Luka Modrić scored his first goal for AC Milan to seal a 1-0 win over Bologna, though the night was marred by an injury to goalkeeper Mike Maignan and a red card for coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Paris Saint-Germain kept their perfect Ligue 1 start with a 2-0 win over Lens after two goals from Bradley Barcola. The victory gave PSG four wins from four, but it came at a cost as three players left injured ahead of their UEFA Champions League opener.
