Barcelona triumphs 5-0 over Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy, with Fermin and Yamal both scoring twice
Barcelona Shines in Pre-Season: Lopez, Yamal, and Rashford Star in Joan Gamper Trophy Victory
During Barcelona's 2025 pre-season tour, Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal, and Marcus Rashford all made significant contributions in terms of goals and overall performance.
In the Joan Gamper Trophy match on August 10, 2025, Barcelona won 5–0 against Italian club Como. Fermin Lopez scored twice, while Lamine Yamal also scored two goals. This match marked a standout offensive display from both young talents.
Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United since July 23, 2025, debuted during the pre-season and contributed actively in the friendlies, including the first pre-season match against Vissel Kobe on July 27, where Barcelona won 3–1. Rashford's exact goal contributions in these friendlies were highlighted by his involvement in attack and new player debuts alongside Joan Garcia and Roony Bardghji, but the detailed goal tally for Rashford in specific matches beyond the debut highlights is not explicitly mentioned in the sources.
Throughout the pre-season friendlies (Japan and South Korea tour), Barcelona showed strong attacking play with goals from new and youth players, prominently featuring Lopez and Yamal in scoring roles. Rashford's presence added depth to the forward line, reflecting Barcelona's efforts to blend experienced talent with youth.
Lamine Yamal has contributed five goals (four goals, one assist) in those pre-season games. His second goal for Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy was a result of a pinpoint cross from Raphinha. Fermin Lopez scored his second goal in the 36th minute with an exquisite strike, while Raphinha scored a goal for Barcelona in the 37th minute, also assisted by Marcus Rashford. Barcelona concluded the scoring three minutes after the restart with a goal from Lamine Yamal, with the assist credited to Raphinha after he picked pocket Ignace Van Der Brempt.
Despite the absence of Robert Lewandowski due to a hamstring injury, Flick's star-studded attack was able to overcome the setback with a ruthless display. Yamal's goal was a fine effort into the bottom-left corner, while Fermin Lopez opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 21st minute.
Barcelona have scored 20 goals in their four pre-season games, indicating a promising start to the season. Rashford's display in the match puts his name forward for a starting spot in Flick's attack, and Yamal looks set to build on his impressive campaign in 2024-25.
| Player | Pre-season Goal Contributions | Notes | |----------------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | Fermin Lopez | 2 goals (Joan Gamper Trophy) | Key scorer in the 5-0 win vs Como | | Lamine Yamal | 2 goals (Joan Gamper Trophy) | Produced a "delightful double" vs Como | | Marcus Rashford| Active in pre-season friendlies; no specific goal tally given | Loaned for 2025–26 season, debuted vs Vissel Kobe|
These performances underscore Barcelona's offensive strength in pre-season, blending youth potential with the experience of Rashford, who joined shortly before the pre-season tour began.
In the pre-season friendlies, Marcus Rashford demonstrated his attacking prowess, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly in Manchester United's European-league rival, Barcelona. During the Joan Gamper Trophy match on August 10, 2025, Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal scored twice each, displaying their impressive form in football, while Rashford assisted multiple goals.
