Barcelona’s steady 2-0 victory over Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey continued to spark confidence among supporters, as the Blaugrana booked their place in the quarterfinals with maturity and depth on display.
As reported by SoftFootball, Ferran Torres broke the deadlock in the 66th minute before Lamine Yamal sealed the win with a stunning curling finish in stoppage time, underlining why the teenager is already one of the club’s brightest stars this season.
Despite Racing Santander pushing hard and even hitting the woodwork, Barcelona’s quality ultimately told at El Sardinero, reinforcing belief among fans that this team is built for the long run.
The performance also reminded supporters of Barcelona’s growing dominance under Hansi Flick, especially after their recent triumph over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España final, another result that showcased composure and attacking clarity on a big stage.
That context shaped much of the fan reaction online, with many seeing the Racing win as further proof that Barcelona are learning how to win even when heavily rotated.
One fan, Pauluz, appeared to use the result as a subtle dig at Barcelona’s rivals, suggesting that Madrid should take lessons from how the Catalans handled a tricky cup tie away from home.
He summed up his point bluntly:
madrid needs to learn.
Yeminiz took a more reflective tone, highlighting how pre-match doubts were quickly silenced by Barcelona’s professionalism. His comment hinted at the unpredictability of cup football and referenced recent shocks involving rivals.
He stated in full:

Confidence in Barcelona’s trajectory was even stronger in Blessed’s reaction, which focused on the bigger picture rather than just one match. She suggested that performances like this are fuelling belief in an extraordinary season ahead.

He declared:
Ain’t no club in the world right now as big as Barcelona. Hansi Flick the 🐐 of all coaches.
Attention was not only on the scorers. Burninsolana singled out goalkeeper Joan Garcia, praising his authority and consistency during moments when Racing threatened. The fan argued that his form deserves international recognition.
He stated:
Joan Garcia is the best keeper in the world right now, it would be criminal for spain to not start him in the world cup.
