"Barcelona turned on the style in their first home game of the season on Sunday, with Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski each netting twice in a 6-0 thrashing of Valencia. The emphatic victory propelled Barcelona to second place in La Liga on 10 points, two points behind leaders Real Madrid. Valencia slumped to 15th position. Lopez opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a strike from inside the box assisted by Ferran Torres but it was after the break that Barca ran amok."
"Raphinha made an immediate impact off the bench in the 58th minute, converting a cross from Marcus Rashford with a right-footed volley while Lopez doubled his tally three minutes later with a shot from long-range, before Raphinha completed his double in the 66th minute. Lewandowski, introduced in the 68th minute, wrapped up the rout with two close-range strikes to complete a perfect afternoon for the Catalan side."
"In Italy Luka Modric scored his first goal for Milan to secure a 1-0 home win over Bologna, a hard-fought Serie A result tempered by an injury to the goalkeeper Mike Maignan and a red card for coach Massimiliano Allegri. A minute past the hour mark, the 40-year-old Modric marked his first goal for Milan, arriving perfectly to meet Alexis Saelemaekers' cross and finishing with a composed first-time strike."
"PSG, who host Atalanta on Wednesday, were already without the forwards Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, and finished the game with more players sidelined. The European champions were in control at Parc des Princes but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Lee Kang-in and Lucas Beraldo were all forced to leave the field with injuries. Bradley Barcola scored both goals for PSG the first with a fine curling shot from outside the box into the top corner in the first half, and the second aft"
