"Ferran Torres scored a hat trick, Lamine Yamal converted a penalty and Roony Bardghji shone in a rare start as Barcelona roared back to win at Real Betis 5-3 in LaLiga on Saturday. Torres has grown from a bench player to become Hansi Flick's most used striker. The Spain forward has more starts than Robert Lewandowski, who at 37 is seeing his playing time reduced."
"Bardghji impressed in his third start since the 20-year-old Sweden winger joined Barcelona from Copenhagen in the summer. His dribbling was electric, and he provided a cross for Torres to score the go-ahead goal before he made it 3-1 with a powerful strike from just inside the area. Lewandowski and Raphinha never left the bench for Barcelona. That will leave both rested for when Barcelona host Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday in the Champions League."
Barcelona came from behind to beat Real Betis 5-3 in Seville, moving four points clear of Real Madrid in LaLiga. Ferran Torres scored a hat trick and leads Barcelona with 13 goals, 11 in the league.

Lewandowski and Raphinha remained on the bench, staying rested ahead of Barcelona's Champions League tie with Eintracht Frankfurt.
