Barcelona stars Pedri, Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres were all on song as Spain crushed Turkiye in World Cup qualifying on Sunday night.
Spain made the perfect start to the match when Pedri opened the scoring in some style with only six minutes on the clock.
The Barcelona midfielder received the ball outside of the penalty area, went past one man and then curled a delicious effort past the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner.
Spain doubled their lead midway through the first half through Mikel Merino.
A brilliant passing move ended with the Arsenal man sweeping the ball home from inside the box.
The chances kept on coming, with Lamine Yamal missing some great chances to increase Spain’s advantage. The Barcelona wonderkid skied his first effort and then fired wide after a thrilling run on goal.
Nico Williams also wasted an opportunity but then picked up an injury and was replaced by Ferran Torres just before half-time.
Yet there was still time for Spain to add another goal before the interval. Pedri was again involved, this time causing all sorts of problems for Turkey before cutting the ball back to Merino to grab his second of the night.
Spain added to their tally after the half-time interval, with Barcelona stars Pedri and Yamal combining to tee up Ferran Torres for a goal on the counter attack.
Just minutes later it was 5-0 to the visitors. Yamal grabbed his second assist of the night as Merino curled home another fine finish to seal his hat-trick and a memorable night for the 29-year-old.
Yet Spain weren’t done there, either. Some great play from Mikel Oyarzabal ended with the Real Sociedad star feeding Pedri to calmly sweep home his second of the night and number six for Spain.
It was a magical performance from Spain, who are going to take some beating on this kind of form, and some impressive showings from our Barca boys.
Hansi Flick will also be relieved to see everyone come safely through the match, with the players now set to head back to their club sides.
