Send us Fan Mail Raphinha delivered a second hat-trick of the week to keep his remarkable form as a striker going. The Brazilian's goals helped Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-1 to continue their perfect start to the season: eight games, eight wins.

Send us Fan Mail Barcelona are celebrating the continuation of their perfect start to the season with a 4-2 win over Levante... and Toni is celebrating the birth of his daughter (congrats, Toni!), so you'll have to put up with Sam and Rik this week. Barça won 4-2 at Levante on Sunday to make it five wins from five in LaLiga. Lamine Yamal scored two more, Xavi Espart netted his first goal for the club and Karim Adeyemi produced a stunning individual effort to seal the win. But Hansi Flick was not happy with the performance, conceding his side were nowhere near their best as poor defending and mistakes almost let Levante back into the game. An apology for the rattling cafe sound in the background. A technology fail and recording on location means it is not the smoothest audio, but hopefully you can appreciate the authenticity of the Valencia setting. It won't happen again (hopefully!). SP!

Send us Fan Mail Sam, Rik and Toni talk about Barca's 5-0 whipping of Valencia which took them clear at the top of La Liga. A brace for Lamine, Fermin at his best, Rodri's first start and a potential role change for Pedri. Toni still has a bee in his bonnet about 'no-goal' Gordon, who added another assist to his stat-book. It expands into a wider discussion about 'clutch players' and their costs.
