Barcelona won their first game of the 2024–2025 La Liga season, defeating Valencia 2-1 at the Mestalla stadium thanks to two strikes from Robert Lewandowski.
Though the Laliga giants manager Hansi Flick mainly depended on youth in his first official match as manager, the game’s youth expertise was the night’s biggest talking point.
One of La Masia’s finest assets, Marc Bernal, made his debut against Valencia.
Pau Victor also made his first official senior appearance in addition to scoring 20 goals for Barça Atletic last season and impressed Hansi Flick as the top scorer throughout the preseason.
Although it may have gone unnoticed, Gerard Martin, another player, also made his Blaugrana first-team debut alongside them.
According to Mundo Deportivo as reported by Barca Universal, Barcelona are currently considering how well to extend a contract to Martin.
The 22-year-old’s present contract, which he signed last year, is set to expire in the summer of 2025. But Barca have the right to unilaterally extend it by an additional year.
