Barcelona showcased their attacking prowess in a pre-season friendly against Seoul, securing a dominant 7-3 victory at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. The match, filled with exciting moments, highlighted the contributions of young talent Lamine Yamal and experienced forward Ferran Torres, each scoring twice.
The scoring began early as Robert Lewandowski capitalized on a rebound from Yamal's shot, tapping the ball into an open net in the eighth minute. Yamal quickly followed up with a goal of his own, finding the bottom corner after his initial pass was deflected back to him. Seoul responded with a goal from Cho Young-Wook, narrowing the deficit, but Barcelona maintained control.
Seoul managed to level the score just before halftime, courtesy of Yazan Al Arab, exploiting a defensive lapse by Barcelona. However, Yamal once again demonstrated his skill, cutting inside and curling a shot into the top corner, restoring Barcelona's lead before the break. The second half saw Barcelona continue their offensive onslaught, with Andreas Christensen scoring a long-range goal in the 55th minute.
Torres then added his name to the scoresheet, darting behind the defense to score at the near post. Gavi contributed with a well-taken goal, displaying excellent footwork to create space for a powerful shot. Seoul managed to pull another goal back through Jung Han-Min, but Torres sealed the victory with his second goal, connecting with a deflected pass from Marcus Rashford.
This high-scoring affair provided an excellent opportunity for Barcelona to fine-tune their attack, with Yamal and Torres leading the charge. While defensive lapses were evident, the team's overall attacking performance and ability to convert chances will undoubtedly please coach Flick.
