Without difficulty and with a large domination, Barcelona reached the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey 2024/2025. This Wednesday (15th), Barça beat Betis 5-1, at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, in Catalonia, in the round of 16 of the competition. Gavi, Koundé, Raphinha, Ferrán Torres and Lamine Yamal scored the goals for the culés. Vitor Roque, with a penalty, scored the only goal for the Alviverde team. One of the highlights was the young Lamine Yamal, who, in addition to the goal, also assisted and participated in the Brazilian’s goal.
With this result, Barcelona achieved their fourth consecutive victory of the season and are now awaiting the draw to find out their opponents for the quarter-finals of the competition. Betis, meanwhile, lost for the second time in a row after going on a seven-game run without losing.
Barça, in fact, was coming off a 5-2 victory over rivals Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. Now they will face Getafe away from home next Saturday (18th), at 5pm (Brasilia time), in the Spanish League
Barcelona massacre
Barcelona were superior from the beginning to the end of the first half. After just two minutes, Barça opened the scoring with Gavi. Pedri left a marker on the ground, played it to Olmo, who passed it to the midfielder to strike without a chance for Vieites. Shortly afterwards the scorer came close to taking the lead, but this time the Alviverde goalkeeper made a great save. Dani Olmo also shot towards the post and, on the rebound, Raphinha came close to scoring, but also stopped the opposing goalkeeper. However, Koundé did not waste it and left his magical aid to Lamine Yamal. The right back even celebrated the goal like Gabigol. The number 23 still scored a great goal in the final minutes, but he was in an irregular position. Betis, however, was unable to react. The best opportunity came with Vitor Roque. The Brazilian receives a cross and forces Iñaki Peña into a complicated save.
Raphinha keeps the stage lit
On the way back, coach Manuel Pellegrini made some changes. But it didn’t help much. Barça kept the same momentum. In the 12th minute Yamal launches himself on the counterattack, makes his opponents dance and risks a shot. The ball was then left to Rafhinha to correct the volley. A great goal. It was the attacker’s 20th goal of the season. And the victory was confirmed after Ferrán Torres took advantage of Dani Olmo’s pass to score Barça’s fourth goal.
Lamine Yamal ‘dancing’
Yamal deserved to leave his. In addition to his entire participation in the match, the “master of the match” scored Barcelona’s fifth goal to complete the rout. The number 19 received an excellent pass from Fermín and struck with great quality. Shortly afterwards, coach Hansi Flick sent the player away, who was applauded by the fans. Another of the boy’s masterful performances.
Vitor Roque reduces Betis’ embarrassment
Betis, for its part, no longer has the strength to try to react. On Wednesday the team was much lower than expected and suffered a defeat. However, in the 40th minute, Koundé intervened on Jesús Rodríguez in the area and the referee signaled the goal. Thus, Vitor Roque struck and scored the only goal for the guests in the match. A goal without any possibility of reaction.
