Barcelona –
Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman highlighted the blaugrana’s frankness in the first half against Real Betis. At that time, El Barca had not played Lionel Messi.

Barca’s five goals in this match were created by Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Pedri and two goals by Lionel Messi. Meanwhile, Betis could only respond through goals from Antonio Sanabria and Lorenzo Morón.
Although Barcelona were able to score five goals in this match, Koeman seems not to be satisfied with his team’s final result. This Dutch coach believes that the Blaugrana should be able to win more than five goals.

This situation made Barcelona have to settle for playing 1-1 with Betis until halftime after Antonio Sarabia drew at the end of the first half. Barcelona’s front-line performance began to improve in the second half. This cannot be separated from the inclusion of Messi to replace Ansu Fati after the break.
“We deserved to win and we should have won in the first half. We had a lot of chances and missed the penalty,” Koeman said. AS.
“We finished (the first half) with only a score of 1-1. But in the second half we were able to keep the spirits in our team and finally we were able to score five goals, although it could have been more,” he explained.
This victory over Real Betis brought Barcelona to seventh position. They collect 11 points in seven games.
