Barcelona faced a formidable test against a high-performing Real Betis side led by Manuel Pellegrini, as the Catalan giants arrived on Saturday with a chance to make La Liga history. Hansi Flick’s team entered the fixture on the back of a 4-1 triumph over Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League, marking 10 consecutive victories across all competitions.
The match at the Estadio de La Cartuja saw Barcelona sweep aside Real Betis in a high-scoring 5-2 victory. Lamine Yamal contributed significantly to the scoreline by netting his eighth La Liga goal of the season. Operating from the right flank in Seville, the 19-year-old put in a performance that yielded statistics not witnessed in the Spanish top-flight since the days of Lionel Messi in 2017. Yamal's display included one goal, one assist, two chances created, two big chances created, two shots, four shots on target, and six successful take-ons.
Alongside Yamal, the scoresheet for Barcelona featured goals from Rodri, Gabriel Jesus, Eric Garcia, and Dani Olmo. Yamal's goal came after a clever ball roll and flick to bypass a defender before firing a ferocious strike past Betis goalkeeper Alvaro Valles, following an assist by Raphinha.
Real Betis entered the fixture with strong credentials, having lost just once during the 2026–27 campaign under Pellegrini's management. Despite their red-hot form and status as a tough challenge for the unstoppable visitors, they were ultimately overwhelmed by Barcelona's attacking display, which further extended the Catalan team's dominant winning streak.
