At the Seoul World Cup Stadium, coach Hansi Flick fielded a near full-strength starting lineup, featuring the attacking trio of Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski. Supporting them were stars like midfielders Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, defenders Pau Cubarsi and Jules Kounde, and new goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

Fielding a superior team, Barca controlled the game and created numerous chances. Yamal was the standout performer, contributing to all three of Barca's first-half goals.

In the 8th minute, the Spanish midfielder's shot hit the post, rebounding perfectly for Lewandowski to tap into an empty net and open the scoring. Yamal then found the net himself in the 14th minute and in added time, both with his favored left foot. These were his first goals since switching to Barca's legendary number 10 shirt.

"Scoring in this shirt, with the number 10 on my back, is a dream," the 18-year-old expressed. "I'm very happy to score and for the team's victory," he added.

Flick changed the entire team for the second half. However, Barca remained strong with players like Rashford, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, and Ferran Torres. The La Liga representatives continued to dominate, adding four more goals courtesy of Andreas Christensen, Gavi, and a brace from Torres.

Rashford provided the assist for the final goal, a 7-3 scoreline, with a through ball to Torres, who slotted it home in the 88th minute. The new English signing was active throughout his time on the pitch, completing one dribble, taking two shots, and delivering three crosses.

FC Seoul, featuring former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard, scored three goals through Cho Young-Wook (26th minute), Yazan Al Arab (45+1 minute), and Jung Han-Min (85th minute).

Barca continues their Korean tour with a match against Daegu on 4/8. Following this, Flick's team returns to Spain to face Calcio Como in the annual Joan Gamper Cup friendly tournament.
