FOOTBALL – BARCELONA made light of playing in front of just 6,000 fans to thrash Valencia 6-0 in their first home game of the season, with three players netting twice in a goal-scoring carnival.
Victory propelled the Catalans to second in LaLiga on 10 points, two points behind leaders Real Madrid, who have a perfect start with four wins from four matches.
Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski all notched doubles.
Used to playing at their 100,000-capacity Camp Nou home then at their temporary base of the 56,000-capacity Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, Barcelona kicked off their home LaLiga campaign at tiny Estadi Johan Cruyff at their Sant Joan Despi training.
