The Spanish side opened the scoring in the 18th minute through Youssouf Fofana's header. Barcelona promptly responded with a Raphinha goal just four minutes later. The Brazilian striker added a second and a third goal for Barcelona in quick succession, heading in a cross from Lamine Yamal in the 69th minute. Raphinha's hat-trick marked his 12th league goal in seven games this season, extending Barcelona's lead at the top of LaLiga to six points.",
