Barcelona remain flawless in LALIGA after securing a hard-fought 5-2 victory against Real Betis.
Lamine Yamal orchestrated a sensational attacking display as Barcelona equalled a 58-year-old LaLiga record with a chaotic 5-2 victory over 10-man Real Betis at the Estadio de La Cartuja on Saturday evening.
The encounter at La Cartuja in Seville pitted Manuel Pellegrini’s high-flying Betis, who entered the weekend in third place, against Hansi Flick’s flawless Barcelona side.
The visitors arrived looking to secure their ninth consecutive league victory, aiming to match the historic unbeaten start achieved by Real Madrid in the 1968–69 season.
Despite a spirited and physical challenge from the Andalusian hosts, the Catalan giants ultimately overwhelmed them, breaking the game wide open following a crucial second-half red card.
