"Hansi Flick introduced bold rotations ahead of Barcelona's clash against Real Betis last night, but the Catalans still managed to make easy work of an in-form opposition. It was the hosts who went ahead early in the game through a goal by Anthony, but Ferran Torres managed to help Barcelona get back in front with a quick-fire brace just five minutes after going behind."
"Joan Garcia: 7.5 The Barcelona goalkeeper did not have a whole lot to do on the night, nor was there much he could do about the first goal conceded which came out of mayhem. A solid game in terms of his positioning and distribution. Alejandro Balde: 7 Played 45 minutes on the night and did well combining with Rashford on the left. He was left exposed by Antony at times because of his high position, but did decently well regardless."
Hansi Flick rotated his squad before Barcelona's match against Real Betis, yet Barcelona controlled the game. Anthony opened the scoring for Betis early, but Ferran Torres quickly responded with a brace to regain the lead. Roony Bardghji followed with a goal and Torres completed a hat-trick to give Barcelona a 4-1 half-time advantage. Lamine Yamal extended the lead after the break. Real Betis scored late and converted a penalty in the penultimate minute to make it 5-3. Player ratings highlighted solid displays from Joan Garcia, Jules Kounde, Gerard Martin, Alejandro Balde, and Pau Cubarsi.
