FC Barcelona hold a comfortable lead in their final home match of the 2025-26 campaign. They currently sit 3-1 ahead of Real Betis at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Hansi Flick’s men have produced a strong performance in Catalonia. The German manager rotated his squad following a midweek loss to Alaves. Raphinha returned to the starting eleven and made an immediate impact during the opening hour.
The Brazilian forward opened the scoring in the first half. He added his second goal just after the 60-minute mark to double Barcelona’s advantage. However, Real Betis responded quickly. Isco reduced the deficit when he scored from the penalty spot.
The visitors’ hope did not last long. Barcelona restored their two-goal cushion shortly after. Ronald Araújo won the ball on the right wing and passed to Pedri. The midfielder then found João Cancelo, who ran forward and curled a brilliant strike into the net from outside the box.
The hosts now face the final fifteen minutes of the match. They stand on the brink of making history. No club in La Liga has ever won every home game in a single season. This achievement would cap another excellent campaign for the Catalan giants under Flick’s guidance.
