Daegu vs Barcelona

On August 4, 2025, FC Barcelona wrapped up their Asia preseason tour in style with a dominant 5–0 victory over Daegu FC in South Korea. From the first whistle, Barcelona looked sharp and in control, dictating possession and tempo. Gavi broke the deadlock midway through the first half with a powerful strike from distance, and just minutes later, Lewandowski made it 2–0 by finishing off a slick team move involving a smart pass from youngster Gerard Martín. Gavi then chipped in his second goal before halftime, completing a brilliant half with Barcelona firmly in the driver’s seat.

The second half saw head coach Hansi Flick rotate his lineup, giving minutes to the likes of Pedri, Dani Olmo, Toni Fernández, and Marcus Rashford. The fresh legs only added to the intensity, as Barcelona continued to pin Daegu back. Toni Fernández struck the fourth goal in the 54th minute following a fluid passing exchange started by Olmo. Then came a special moment: Marcus Rashford, making his debut after joining on loan from Manchester United, scored his first goal in the Blaugrana shirt with a confident finish after a setup from Eric García.

Gavi was undoubtedly the standout performer of the night, not only for his two goals but for his relentless energy and vision in midfield. Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal lit up the first half with dazzling dribbles and clever interplay, tormenting Daegu’s defense throughout his time on the pitch. Despite not scoring, his influence on the game was unmistakable. It’s clear Barcelona’s future is in safe hands with a new generation stepping into the spotlight.

There were a few additional storylines worth noting, including the appearance of 18-year-old goalkeeper Diego Kochen, who came on to make his preseason debut late in the second half. On the other end of the pitch, defender Pau Cubarsí left the game with a slight knock, though reports suggest the injury is minor and precautionary. Flick’s willingness to integrate young talent into the senior setup continues to be a positive sign for fans hoping to see homegrown players rise through the ranks.

This convincing win completed a flawless Asian tour for Barcelona, following earlier triumphs over Vissel Kobe (3–1) and FC Seoul (7–3). Beyond the scorelines, the team demonstrated depth, tactical clarity, and strong chemistry ahead of the new La Liga season. With experienced stars and rising prospects working in harmony, Barcelona fans have every reason to feel optimistic about what lies ahead. The Daegu game wasn’t just a win—it was a statement of intent.
