Match Report

Barcelona secured a comfortable 3–1 home victory over Real Betis in La Liga matchday 37, with Raphinha the standout performer in the first half. The Brazilian opened the scoring on 28 minutes, and Barcelona carried their 1–0 lead into the break despite a yellow card for Jules Koundé shortly before half-time. Our pre-match AI model had rated a Barcelona win as most likely at 81%, a call that proved well-founded.

Raphinha doubled the advantage on 62 minutes before being substituted a minute later, but Betis responded almost immediately through a VAR-confirmed Isco penalty, converted on 69 minutes to briefly reduce the deficit. Barcelona reasserted control when João Cancelo restored the two-goal cushion on 74 minutes, effectively ending the contest.

The hosts dominated throughout, finishing with 63% possession, nine shots on target compared to Betis's two, and an xG of 1.12 against 0.97 — though the scoreline ultimately flattered how one-sided the performance felt in key moments. Barcelona's clinical finishing proved the decisive factor on the night.
