FC Barcelona capped their Asian tour with a commanding 5-0 victory over Daegu FC at Daegu Stadium, South Korea, on August 4, 2025. Under Hansi Flick’s leadership, the Blaugrana delivered a dazzling performance, led by a sensational Gavi, who netted a first-half brace. Robert Lewandowski added a goal, while Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, marked his debut with a strike in the 65th minute, assisted by Eric García. Young star Toni Fernández sealed the rout with his first senior goal in the 53rd minute, as Daegu FC, winless in their last 12 matches, failed to register a shot on target.

The first half was a masterclass from Barcelona, who controlled 75% of possession and stifled Daegu’s every move. Gavi opened the scoring in the 21st minute after a pinpoint pass from Koundé, followed by Lewandowski’s clinical finish in the 27th, capitalizing on a defensive error. Before halftime, Gavi completed his brace with a sublime lob over goalkeeper Tae-Hui Han, sparking wild celebrations among the traveling Culé fans. Daegu’s supporters, frustrated by their team’s poor run, staged a protest against the club’s management, but the spotlight remained on Barcelona’s relentless display.

In the second half, Flick rotated his entire lineup, giving minutes to emerging talents like Roony Bardghji and brothers Guille and Toni Fernández, who brought energy and flair. Rashford, coming off the bench, showcased his quality with a powerful long-range goal, and Toni Fernández capped the scoreline. “We’re ready to compete at the highest level,” Flick declared, praising the team’s form ahead of their La Liga opener against Mallorca on August 16. With 12 goals in their last two matches, Barcelona returns to Spain in top shape for the Joan Gamper Trophy against Como 1907 on August 10.
