Rayo Vallecano took an early lead and threatened to make it a complicated night for Barcelona, but the Catalan side delivered a swift and emphatic response. Sergio Camello opened the scoring after 11 minutes, but Raphinha leveled seven minutes later before Lamine Yamal turned the game around in the 20th. Just before the break, Barça found the net again in the 44th minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside against Koundé. An own goal by Florian Lejeune in the 51st minute and Raphinha's second in the 70th practically put the rout beyond doubt, even as Camello pulled one back for Rayo. In the closing minutes, Yamal sealed the scoreline with a stunning strike to cap off a sensational individual display.

Barcelona: The Catalan outfit had to weather an early setback, but quickly took command of the contest. Raphinha proved decisive, netting the equalizer before adding another in the second half, while Yamal also dazzled with two goals — including a precise finish into the top corner and a long-range rocket to round off the scoring. Gordon was influential in attacking buildup, setting up Raphinha's second goal and playing a part in the move that forced Lejeune's own goal. Commanding 70% possession by the 68th minute, Barça controlled the match from start to finish.

Rayo Vallecano: Rayo started brightly and capitalized on one of their opening opportunities, with Camello breaking the deadlock in the 11th minute. The striker found the net again in the second half with a header from a corner, but the visitors could not cope with Barcelona's attacking tempo. Cárdenas prevented a heavier defeat with several sharp interventions, while Camello, Lejeune, and Nteka all had chances to narrow the gap. With their defense pinned back and Barça dominating possession, Rayo ultimately surrendered too much space and came away beaten despite their main forward's brace.
