In an electric night of football at a packed Seoul World Cup Stadium, FC Barcelona delivered a masterclass in attacking football, defeating FC Seoul 7–3 in a friendly that had goals, drama, and plenty of star power. From Robert Lewandowski’s early opener to Lamine Yamal’s dazzling brace, the Catalan giants gave their Korean fans an unforgettable show.
Barcelona wasted no time, striking first in the 8th minute through Lewandowski, before Lamine Yamal doubled the lead just six minutes later, showcasing his rapid rise as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents. But Seoul had other plans. The hosts stormed back before the break with two brilliant goals—Cho Young-Wook (26′) and Al Arab Yazan (45+1′)—to briefly tie the match at 2–2. Their comeback, however, was short-lived, as Yamal struck again just two minutes later, putting Barça ahead at halftime.
The second half saw a flurry of substitutions—Barcelona rotated their entire squad, bringing on names like Gavi, Ferran Torres, Marcus Rashford, and Christensen, while Seoul also reshuffled their eleven. The fresh legs made a big difference for the Blaugrana, who turned up the heat with four more goals.
Andreas Christensen got the ball rolling after the break with a solid finish in the 55th minute, assisted by Gavi. Then came a flurry of goals: Ferran Torres (74’, 88’), Gavi himself (76’), and more creative brilliance from the likes of Torrents, Rashford, and Martin.
Seoul grabbed a late consolation through Jung Han-Min in the 85th minute, off a smart assist by Dugandzic, but the damage had already been done. It was a whirlwind evening that left Korean fans dazzled by Barcelona’s star-studded show.
