​By THE SUN REPORTERS, Barcelona

​Hansi Flick’s Barcelona stars turned on the style at a rain-drenched Spotify Camp Nou, reclaiming their spot at the top of La Liga with a dominant 3-0 demolition of Real Oviedo.

​After a frustrating first half where the league leaders struggled to break down the basement-dwellers, Barca’s big-money stars finally delivered the goods in a second-half masterclass that left the visitors shell-shocked.

​The breakthrough came in the 52nd minute when Dani Olmo proved exactly why he’s the heartbeat of this side. Pouncing on a defensive mix-up after some relentless pressing from teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, Olmo kept his cool to slot a clinical finish into the bottom corner.

​Just five minutes later, it was double trouble for Oviedo.

Brazilian magician Raphinha intercepted a weak back-pass from David Costas, raced clear, and produced a moment of pure filth—delicately chipping the keeper from the edge of the area to make it 2-0.

​THE LAMINE SHOW
​But the best was yet to arrive. In the 73rd minute, the world’s most exciting teenager, Lamine Yamal, reminded everyone why he’s a Ballon d’Or frontrunner. Rising to meet a floating cross from Olmo, the 18-year-old adjusted his body in mid-air to unleash a spectacular overhead scissor-kick that flew into the net.

​The stadium erupted as the wonderkid celebrated his stunner, sealing a victory that moves Barca one point clear of Real Madrid at the summit.

​While Robert Lewandowski was uncharacteristically quiet, denied by a late save in the pouring rain, Flick’s “Galacticos” proved they have firepower in every department.

For Oviedo, it was a night of errors and agony, but for Barcelona, it was a statement of intent: the title is theirs to lose.
