Lamine Yamal 9, Gavi 9: Rating Barcelona players in Daegu win

Barcelona wrapped up their preseason Asia Tour in spectacular fashion, cruising to a 5-0 victory over Daegu FC in South Korea. Under the guidance of Hansi Flick, the Blaugrana showed class, chemistry, and control — but two young stars stole the spotlight: Lamine Yamal and Gavi, both earning standout ratings of 9.

Lamine Yamal continues to redefine expectations for a teenager. The winger was electric down the right flank, completing six successful dribbles and creating four chances, including a brilliant assist for the game’s opening goal. Every touch screamed confidence. Every move created danger. For many fans, he’s already becoming the player to watch.

Gavi, meanwhile, reminded the world why he’s considered one of the best midfielders of his generation. The 20-year-old didn’t just pull strings — he finished them too, netting a composed brace. Off the ball, he was just as effective, recovering possession three times and completing tackles with his signature intensity. A 95% pass completion rate rounded off his complete performance.

Another standout was Gerard Martin, who earned an 8.5. His cross to assist Lewandowski’s goal was a moment of brilliance, while his defensive contributions — two tackles and two clearances — made it a well-rounded display. The young fullback looks ready for regular minutes.

Elsewhere, the likes of Jules Kounde (8), Alejandro Balde (8), and Dani Olmo (8) delivered strong shifts. Olmo, in particular, looks like a perfect fit in Flick’s system, linking midfield to attack seamlessly and finding pockets of space between the lines.

Robert Lewandowski got himself on the scoresheet with clinical precision, thanks to that delivery from Gerard Martin. The Polish striker’s link-up play remains sharp, and he continues to be the focal point of Barcelona’s attacking machinery.

Marcus Rashford, who made headlines for his recent comments about wanting to score 100 goals for Barça, came off the bench and added energy in the final third. He even tapped Lamine Yamal’s leg before coming on — a symbolic gesture that fans quickly turned into a meme.

Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong quietly anchored the spine of the team. Araujo brought calm and leadership at the back, while De Jong dictated the tempo from deep with his usual composure and press resistance.

Pedri and Roony Bardghji also had encouraging cameos, offering glimpses of Barcelona’s enviable squad depth. With many young players shining and senior stars performing consistently, Flick’s side looks well-oiled heading into the new campaign.

Perhaps the only concern was Pau Cubarsi’s early knock — and Hansi Flick’s visibly worried reaction was caught on camera. Barcelona fans will be hoping it’s nothing serious.

All in all, this dominant win in Daegu serves as the perfect wrap-up to an impressive tour. With La Liga just around the corner, this team is humming with potential. If the Yamal-Gavi duo continues in this form, Barcelona could be unstoppable this season.
