Barcelona Crush Real Betis 5-2 to Equal All-Time La Liga Winning Start Record

In a thrilling encounter of the Spanish league, Barcelona delivered an offensive masterclass to defeat in-form Real Betis 5-2 away from home, fueled by a stellar performance from Lamine Yamal and aided by a numerical advantage following Facundo Bernal's red card. 

The victory marks their ninth consecutive win to start the season, equaling the all-time La Liga record previously set solely by Miguel Muñoz's Real Madrid in the 1968-1969 campaign. According to data compiled by Cadena Cope journalist Pedro Martin, Hansi Flick's side can break this historic record if they win next week's El Clasico. Furthermore, the Catalans have now scored three or more goals in nine straight matches for the first time since the 1943 season, while their tally of 38 goals in nine games stands as the second-highest scoring start in league history.
