Barcelona moved one step closer to winning La Liga for the first time since 2019 with a 4-0 victory against Real Betis on Saturday with 10 men on the field.
Earlier, Real Madrid defeated Almeria 4-2 to close the score to eight points, but Barcelona won to regain their 11 point lead.
At Camp Nou, Barca’s goals came from Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha. Guido Rodriguez added a late own goal to complete the rout.
With six games left, Xavi Hernandez’s team had an easy night protecting their lead thanks to Edgar Gonzalez’s early departure.
