'We don't need new players' - Hat-trick hero Raphinha issues defiant message as perfect Barcelona cruise to huge victory after missing out on Nico Williams signing

Raphinha scored a treble as Barcelona beat Real Valladolid 7-0 in a superb performance. The Camp Nou side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nico-williams-decision-future-barcelona-athletic-club-await-announcement/blt91dbf36c3b45270c" target="_blank">spent the summer chasing a deal to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao</a>, but were unable to agree a deal. Barca's main acquisition of the summer came in the form of Dani Olmo, but Raphinha is confident the squad has more than enough talent to seriously challenge this season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Hansi Flick's side have won all four of their opening four games, beating Valencia, Bilbao, and Rayo Vallecano prior to their thrashing of Valladolid. Raphinha now has three goals and three assists as he bids to become indispensable to the new manager.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Raphinha told reporters: "Today's game has taught us that there is no need for other players to arrive. We are in very good shape. The team is giving its best in the games and in the training sessions. Today's result shows what we're working on."

WHAT RAPHINHA SAID

Barcelona are next in action against Girona on September 15 after the international break. Three days later, they will kick off their Champions League campaign against AS Monaco.
