Barcelona thrash Real Betis to equal historic La Liga record

Barcelona continued their dominant form in La Liga, cruising to a 5-2 victory over Real Betis at Estadio La Cartuja. This result marks the club's ninth straight win from the start of the season, equalling the historic record set by Real Madrid in the 1968-69 campaign. Hansi Flick’s side has now scored 39 goals in their opening nine league matches.

Lamine Yamal opened the scoring with a spectacular strike, setting the tone for a volatile afternoon that featured VAR intervention, a red card, and high-intensity football. While Betis fought back through Valentín Gómez and Abde Ezzalzouli, Barcelona's offensive depth proved too much. The second half saw Facundo Bernal sent off for a confrontation with Yamal, allowing the visitors to pull away with goals from Eric García and Dani Olmo.
