"Barcelona made a massive statement midweek with a 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid, retaining the pole position on the league standings and consolidating themselves as one of the favourites in the title race. On Saturday, they will face off against Real Betis at the Estadio la Cartuja as part of Matchday 15 as they look to take another massive step towards widening their lead at the top."
"It has not been said too often this season that Barcelona are riding on momentum, for most of their performances in the campaign have seen them either take home scrappy wins or ride on individual brilliance. The team's win over Atletico Madrid, however, marked their first proper dominant showing in recent weeks as they completely dictated the terms of play against Los Rojiblancos."
Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 midweek to retain first place and bolster title credentials. The team will meet Real Betis at Estadio la Cartuja on Matchday 15. The last away fixture at the Benito Villamarín ended with a 94th-minute equaliser that cost Barcelona two points. Real Betis remains undefeated in eight matches across all competitions, representing a significant challenge. Barcelona produced a more dominant performance against Atletico with improved defence, midfield control and a sharper attack. The squad aims to carry that momentum into the upcoming match. Dani Olmo scored the opener but did not celebrate.
