Barcelona’s coach Hansi Flick praised teen winger Lamine Yamal as the best player in the world after his side’s dominant 5-2 victory over 10-man Real Betis. The Spanish champions now lead La Liga by five points, while Atletico Madrid are second after a 1-0 win at Espanyol. Betis remains eight points behind the leaders, while Real Madrid face Sevilla.
Yamal scored the opener, followed by Rodri, Gabriel Jesus, Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo. Betis' Facundo Bernal was sent off for headbutting Yamal, who had already received a booking. Barcelona set a new club record for league wins, equaling Real Madrid's record from the 1968/69 season.
