Barcelona coach Xavi delighted after thumping Real Betis

Barcelona coach Xavi was delighted after their rout of Real Betis.

Goals from Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and a Guido Rodriguez own goal saw Barca win 4-0.

Xavi said: "We have been able to rotate [the squad], and it is one more step towards the title.

“In general, we required a reaction and have been good with a high circulation that was key. With our front three, it was important to find the free man and play easily.

“It was an important day, and we have an identity again. It's a giant step to win this league. It was vital to react, and we also won well. I was convinced by what I saw. I have good feelings about getting the title."
