Barcelona put together a ruthless away display in LaLiga, beating Elche 5-0 at Estadio Martínez Valero.
NOP NIGERIA reports that the visitors were ahead early when Raphinha won and converted a penalty on 14 minutes, a calm left‑foot finish into the low corner.
Elche responded with spells of possession and two first‑half big chances, but they lacked the final touch to trouble Joan García. First‑half stoppage time then hurt the hosts: a sharp transition saw Raphinha slip in Karim Adeyemi, who finished for 0-2.
