Barcelona thrash Cesc Fàbregas’ Como in Joan Gamper Trophy showdown
Barcelona sent a clear statement ahead of the new season by dismantling Como 1907 5-0 in the Joan Gamper Trophy 2025, in a match that highlighted the Catalan side’s fluidity, sharpness, and attacking dominance.
The game, played under complete control from the hosts, saw the visitors – managed by club legend and La Masia graduate Cesc Fàbregas – struggle to keep up with the relentless pace set by Barça.
Fermín López opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a clinical low strike into the bottom corner. Soon after, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal made it 2-0 with a stunning solo effort, curling the ball into the top corner after gliding past multiple defenders.
Raphinha then added a third, calmly slotting home after receiving a well-weighted pass from Marcus Rashford, before turning provider himself — delivering a perfect assist for Yamal’s second goal of the night into an empty net.
In the second half, Lamine Yamal sealed his brace with a composed first-time finish into the far corner, putting the final stamp on an emphatic victory.
