FC Barcelona continue to prove that no deficit is too deep. On Saturday night in Seville, Hansi Flick’s men produced another thrilling comeback, defeating Real Betis 3-5 at La Cartuja in a LaLiga classic. It was their third consecutive comeback victory and their thirteenth league win of the season.
Once again, Ferran Torres stole the spotlight with a brilliant hat-trick, while Roony Bardghji and Lamine Yamal added their names to the scoresheet. Barça remain at the top of LaLiga with 40 points, showcasing the best attack in the league with 47 goals in 16 matches.
Ferran Torres, the unstoppable “Shark”
Ferran Torres returned to the starting lineup with hunger and delivered a world-class performance. The forward scored twice in just over a minute to overturn Betis’ early lead and completed his hat-trick before halftime.
His finishing was sharp, his positioning perfect, and his energy infectious. With 11 goals in 16 league games, Ferran is now Barça’s top scorer of the season. The player from Foiós has rediscovered his confidence and rhythm under Flick, becoming a lethal weapon once again.
Roony Bardghji’s breakthrough night
Hansi Flick surprised many by starting Roony Bardghji on the right flank, and the young Swede rewarded his coach with an outstanding display. Roony scored his first LaLiga goal and added an assist for Ferran. His creativity and direct play constantly troubled the Betis defense, while his link-up with Lamine Yamal and Pedri gave Barcelona an extra attacking dimension.
Lamine, acting as a central playmaker, showed maturity beyond his age. Calm in possession and intelligent in pressing, he capped his performance with a composed penalty in the second half to make it 1-5.
First-half brilliance, late lapses
Barça’s first-half dominance was absolute. After conceding early to Antony, the team responded with four goals before the break. Roony’s strike from a precise Pedri pass and Ferran’s deflected shot sealed a breathtaking turnaround.
In the second half, Flick’s men managed the rhythm, introduced fresh legs, and controlled possession. Only in the closing minutes did Betis find space, scoring twice through Diego Llorente and Cucho Hernández to make the final score 3-5.
A message from the leaders
Beyond the goals, this win was a statement. Barcelona showed character, unity, and attacking power in abundance. Flick’s rotations worked perfectly, with strong contributions from Rashford, Bardghji, and young talents like Marc Bernal and Jofre Torrents.
With six straight league wins and a growing sense of belief, Barça look every bit like LaLiga’s team to beat.
Bottom line
The victory in Seville was more than just another three points. It was a demonstration of the identity Flick is building: brave, fast, and relentlessly offensive. With Ferran Torres in peak form and the team full of confidence, FC Barcelona march forward as leaders and contenders on every front.
The message from La Cartuja is clear: Barça are not just winning – they are enjoying every minute of it.
