Ferran Torres Hat-Trick Secures Thrilling Victory for Barcelona in Sevilla Thriller
Seville, Spain – In a rollercoaster of a match at La Cartuja stadium, Barcelona overcame an early deficit and defensive lapses to secure a 3-5 victory against Real Betis, thanks to a stunning hat-trick from Ferran Torres. The win piles the pressure on Real Madrid in the league title race.
Betis initially took the lead in the 5th minute through Antony, capitalizing on a defensive miscue from Barcelona’s Koundé. However, Barcelona responded fiercely, sparked by the brilliance of their attacking unit.
Ferran Torres, in scintillating form, equalized in the 10th minute after a clever combination between Lamine Yamal and Koundé. Just two minutes later, Torres put Barcelona ahead with an acrobatic finish from a Roony Bardghji cross. Youngster Bardghji then added a third in the 30th minute, followed by Torres completing his hat-trick in the 39th, marking his second hat-trick against Betis in just over a year.
Barcelona extended their lead in the second half with a penalty converted by Lamine Yamal in the 58th minute, making it 1-5.
Despite the seemingly comfortable lead, defensive vulnerabilities returned to haunt Barcelona in the closing stages. Betis pulled two goals back in the final six minutes, courtesy of Llorente and Cucho Hernández, to make it 3-5. Ultimately, Barcelona held on to claim the victory.
