The 1-0 against Valencia, a goal with Barça DNA

The goal from Ansu Fati had a clear Barça component, 18 passes involving eight different players

Barça's performance against Valencia (5-2) left us with several positive aspects, such as the first goals at the Camp Nou for Frenkie de Jong and Ansu Fati. The 1-0, our quickest league goal of the season (1:50), was one that starred both players, with the Dutchman providing the assist for Ansu Fati to bring the stadium to its feet.

However, the action had begun long before the ball hit the back of the net.

Specifically 48 seconds before, and during which Ernesto Valverde's players completed 18 passes before the final touch. From the feet of Gerard Piqué, the ball passed through Sergio, De Jong, Carles Pérez, Arthur, Jordi Alba, Ansu Fati, Piqué and Semedo, and most of them had it on more than an occasion.
