The heavy defeat drops Valencia to the bottom of the Primera Division standings in 20th place on matchday 4, leaving them already eleven points behind the league leaders. Meanwhile, the visitors climb to the summit of the table with twelve points after four fixtures, extending their exceptional start to the domestic season with another victory powered by goals from Lamine Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha, and Pedri.
Valencia entered this encounter searching for solutions following a difficult run that yielded just one victory from their previous five outings, a sequence that included a 3-1 home win against this same opponent back in May 2026. Their opponents arrived on the back of three consecutive victories across all competitions and an imposing attacking record that averaged four goals per match in the domestic league, bolstered by standout performances from Lamine Yamal and Fermin, who both earned an 8.9 rating.
The historical rivalry had recently favored the hosts, who claimed a 3-1 victory in their most recent meeting, but the balance shifted entirely on this occasion as the home side managed only twenty-seven percent possession and three shots compared to twenty-five from the visitors.
Valencia must quickly regroup for an away trip to Sevilla FC on 11 September, while the league leaders turn their attention to a home fixture against Feyenoord on 9 September.
