Barça turned their visit to Betis into an afternoon of extra work for the scoreboard: a 5-2 victory at La Cartuja. Lamine Yamal kicked off the party with a shot into the top corner —the kind that makes a goalkeeper wonder if he let it in out of politeness— but Valentín Gómez equalised and Betis made sure Barça couldn’t switch off. Rodri put Barça back in front before the break, and Gabriel Jesus made it three after half-time. Abde’s response came almost immediately: the match seemed settled, but Betis reminded everyone they still had a voice and boots. (fcbarcelona.com)
Tensions rose after Abde’s goal, and Facundo Bernal was eventually sent off following a clash with Lamine—a post-match chapter added to a game that was already packed with incident. Eric Garcia made it four and Dani Olmo wrapped things up with a shot from the edge of the box, with the precision of someone putting a full stop —not a semicolon— at the end of a match report. In short: five Barça goalscorers, two scares from the green-and-whites, and a thrashing that left the scoreboard busier than a Monday calendar. (elpais.com)
