Ghostly, Robert Lewandowski was replaced in the 63rd minute of Barça’s match at Betis on Sunday in La Liga. Joao Félix and Ferran Torres, author of a hat-trick, helped the Blaugranas win.
FC Barcelona fought hard to win on the field of Real Betis (2-4), Sunday afternoon, as part of the 21st day of La Liga, in order to move alone to third in the standings and return to seven points from the leader, Real Madrid.
The Blaugranas were not able to count on a Robert Lewandowski of the big nights, it goes without saying. Criticized for his performances since the start of the season, the Polish striker did not have a shot on goal, in 15 balls touched, before being replaced in the 63rd minute by winter recruit Vitor Roque!
Isco’s evening!
It was Ferran Torres who shook the nets of the Andalusian team, opening the score (21st) before doubling the lead after returning from the locker room (48th). But Isco set the Estadio Benito Villamarin on fire by scoring a quick double (56th and 59th)!
In this crazy second half, it was finally Joao Félix, launched for the last quarter of an hour of play, who gave the advantage in the 90th minute of play with a marvel from outside the right. In the process, Ferran Torres went to score his hat-trick (92nd). Xavi will have to rely on his attacking prodigies in good shape in order to keep up with Real and Girona in the coming weeks.
