He was flying…fires after the break n Barcelona! The “Blaugrana” played a joke against Betis, winning 5-0 at home and made it four out of five in this year’s La Liga. Xavi’s team had a plurality in scoring as five different players found the net.
In the 25th Barcelona he pushed Betis very high and was rewarded, as he stole the ball and Oriol fed Joao Felix into the area, who even with … adventure sent the ball into the net, opening an account with his new team. Seven minutes later, Christensen crossed, Felix cleverly left for him Lewandowski, who found himself in a shooting position and executed Rui Silva. Nothing changed until the break, with the Catalans in complete control.
In the second part o Ferran Torres he scored in the 62nd minute with a free kick, sending the ball into the left corner of the Portuguese goalkeeper, while four minutes later Lewandowski laid for Rafinha from the semi-circle of the area and the Brazilian made it 4-0 with a powerful shot. The final word belonged to Cancelo, who scored his maiden Barcelona goal in his second spell with the club. The Portuguese maneuvered well outside the area, entered it and with a powerful shot shaped the final score.
Now the Barcelona turn their attention to their Champions League group stage opener against Antwerp on Tuesday (19/9).
