"Barcelona have bounced back strongly in La Liga, closing the gap to Real Madrid to just five points after a confident 3-1 victory over Elche at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium. The win takes Hansi Flick's side to 25 points, placing them firmly in second position and reigniting their title pursuit after the bitter disappointment of the El Clasico defeat."
"Led by the attacking trio of Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Marcus Rashford, Barça showed the kind of clinical edge that has often defined their best performances this season. Elche, to their credit, came with ambition. They pressed high, which created both danger and opportunity. Their approach backfired when a costly slip and turnover gifted Barcelona their first two goals as Flick's men were quick to pounce."
"During the halftime break, the stadium turned into a mini Halloween spectacle. The giant video screens lit up with images of iconic horror movie characters, paired amusingly with photos of fans in the stands who were deemed to resemble them. Even though the festivities came two days after October 31, the club's effort to inject some seasonal fun didn't go unnoticed."
