Barcelona claimed an entertaining 7-3 preseason victory over FC Seoul on Thursday as Hansi Flick’s side made it two wins from two in their Asian tour.
Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres each scored twice as Robert Lewandowski, Gavi and Andreas Christensen also got on the scoresheet for the Spanish champions.
Seoul found themselves 2-0 down inside 14 minutes, Lewandowski tapping home a rebound after Lamine Yamal hit the post before the young Spain star drilled in a low shot that slipped through the goalkeeper’s grasp. They produced an impressive comeback, though, with Cho Young-wook rifling in a good finish — albeit from what looked like an offside position — before defender Yazan Al Arab strode through the static defence to fire past Joan Garcia.
Lamine Yamal got Barca’s third just before the interval, picking out the top corner from 12 yards out, and the Catalans assumed greater control in the second half despite the coach making 11 changes. Christensen blasted home a fine strike from 25 yards out before Torres scored from close range, and Gavi rounded off a slick passing move with another low shot that should really have been saved.
Although Jung Han-min finished well after Seoul once more exposed Barca’s high line, Torres got his second of the game to cap a positive attacking performance from Barca, slotting away a composed effort after being set up by Marcus Rashford.
They now head to Daegu for their final tour game before returning to Spain for next weekend’s Joan Gamper Trophy fixture.
