Ferran Torres' three trick and substitute Joao Felix's incredible finish gave Xavi Hernandez and Barcelona a crucial victory on Sunday. Xavi's position at the team had been questioned as a result of a string of subpar games, but he would have been encouraged by his team's impressive performance in the first half of the match against Real Betis. In a commanding first half, Ferran Torres gave Barca the lead. He then doubled that advantage with a volley to begin the second half.
After then, everything went wrong because of Isco. Around the hour mark, the former Real Madrid player scored a spectacular brace to tie the score at two. Felix then came off the bench to score a late goal, and Ferran added a fourth goal even later to complete his hat trick and give Barca a 4-2 victory.
