Barcelona 4-0 Real Betis: Big Spotify Camp Nou win brings LaLiga title closer
Four different scorers were on target as 15-year-old Lamine Yamal debuted
Barcelona struck four times against Real Betis and handed a debut to 15-year-old Lamine Yamal as they returned to winning ways after defeat to Rayo Vallecano in midweek.
Andreas Christensen headed Barca into an early lead on his return to the team after a good cross from Raphinha.
The game swung in the 33rd minute when Edgar Gonzalez was sent off for a second booking, leaving Betis with 10 men for nearly an hour.
Barça took full advantage, with Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha edging them into a three-goal lead by the break.
Xavi Hernandez's side could have added more in the second half but had to wait until the 82nd minute to complete the scoring when Guido Rodriguez turned Ansu Fati's shot into his own net.
There was interest off the bench, too, as Joaquin, 41, came on for what was his last-ever appearance at Camp Nou for Betis before he retires in the summer.
Unfortunately, the winger, who was given a good welcome from the Barça fans, could not finish the game due to a knee injury.
Barça, meanwhile, brought on someone at the other end of their career, with Yamal coming on for the final minutes after the fourth goal.
There was almost a goal for the teenager, too, who became Barça's youngest LaLiga debutant, but he was foiled by Rui Silva.
