  "summary": "Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick has hailed Lamine Yamal as the best player in the world after the Spanish champions routed 10-man Real Betis 5-2 to return five points clear at the top of La Liga. Teenage winger Yamal scored a brilliant goal for Barcelona, while Rodri, Gabriel Jesus, Eric Garcia, and Dani Olmo also found the net at La Cartuja stadium in Seville. The win sets a new club record for victories at the start of a league campaign and equals the all-time record of nine, set by Real Madrid in the 1968/69 season.",
