Barcelona are set to install a seven-point cushion between themselves and Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings, before the defending champions take on Girona later in the day. Despite being bogged down in the second half, Hansi Flick’s team managed to take the lead again in the match against Real Betis.
It was Robert Lewandowski who opened the scoring at the Benito Villamarín, although Giovani Lo Celso canceled out Barcelona’s advantage with a penalty. However, the visitors have gone 2-1 thanks to substitute Ferran Torres.

It’s an outrageous assist from Lamine Yamal, and Torres scores goals in consecutive games after scoring against Mallorca during the week.
Barcelona have not had it easy at the Benito Villamarín, but as things stand, they are on their way to their second consecutive victory after three La Liga games without a win. It won’t be long until the Blaugranas see this match over.
