Barcelona have stormed into an impressive 3-0 half-time lead at home to Real Betis, with quickfire goals from Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.
La Blaugrana are pushing to maintain their impressive title lead over Real Madrid, following Los Blancos’ ruthless 4-2 win over struggling Almeria earlier today.
Barcelona are now well placed to secure another Camp Nou victory, which will allow them to retake their 11-point lead over Real Madrid in the ongoing title race.
Andreas Christensen got the ball rolling for Barcelona, with his first club goal putting them 1-0 in front following Raphinha’s superb cross.
