Real Betis 1 -4 Barcelona
Barça stretched their lead at the top of La Liga with a 1-4 win at the Benito Villamarín tonight.
Goals from Neymar and Pedro in the first half and a brace from Cesc after the break mean Gerardo Martino’s side go into the international break with yet another win under their belt and a three point cushion over second place Atletico Madrid, who were held to a 1-1 draw in Villarreal. This wasn’t as straightforward a win for Barça as the score might suggest though, with a brave Betis side never giving up and the worrying sight of Leo Messi limping off in the first half.
