Substitute Ansu Fati had given Barcelona the lead in the 76th minute via a calm finish just a minute after coming on. After starting his Barcelona career brilliantly by netting 11 goals, nine in La Liga since joining them from Arsenal in January, Aubameyang has experienced a goal drought of some sort, failing to score in their last three matches. Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's importance to Barcelona was questioned by fans online after he failed to produce a top performance in Saturday's 2-1 La Liga victory away to Real Betis.

Barcelona qualified for next season's Champions League with their 2-1 win over Real Betis on Saturday, something that at one point earlier in the campaign ...

Fati had already created danger for Barcelona with his first touch, which allowed Ferran Torres a shot, before he found the back of the net with his second. He’s also out of contract in 2023 which means it’s Barca’s last chance to get any kind of transfer fee for the Brazilian. Barcelona’s winning goal was an absolute banger from Jordi Alba deep into stoppage time which sparked wild celebrations and rightly so. He just needs half a chance to score, even with a bad shot.” Typically, Barcelona made hard work of it at the Benito Villamarin but this is another win against a very good side. It’s a great feeling to have him back,” said the coach.

Barcelona head coach Xavier Hernandez reacted after Jordi Alba scored a last-gasp winner to snatch a 2-1 win at Real Betis on Saturday.

However, winning this game would guarantee a top-four finish, which was the objective of Xavi Hernandez, having signed in November. Advertisement.

In a team where goals are few and far between, having finishing as proficient as that of the Spaniard is heaven-sent. The 19-year-old scored within a minute of his substitution with his third ball touch. With injuries constantly hampering his progress as an individual, Ansu Fati is always one to be relied on to score a goal out of nowhere. Unless, of course, he has the ball at his feet, Dembele is almost entirely, and forgive the profanity, useless. Xavi Hernandez came to Barcelona with the idea of getting Barcelona to play great football. The Frenchman’s form is quite questionable, as a crude mix of managerial blunders and individual poor decision making is harming him.

Barcelona would like to offload Martin Braithwaite from their ranks as soon as possible, according to Sport, but the wages they're currently paying him, ...

And it seems that though he may be open to a change of scenery in the summer, he wouldn’t be open to a salary reduction to help him gain regular game-time elsewhere. Apparently, Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in taking the experienced forward to the Premier League, but they simply cannot pay him €4 million per season, which is the amount he makes now. The January transfer window of 2020 was already over when Luis Suarez picked up a long-term injury, with Ousmane Dembele also out of action.

This was their first game back at the Benito Villamarín since that magical night and it was a celebration, helped by the stunning Saturday evening sunshine that ...

Manuel Pellegrini has built a strong side at the Villamarín and they can look forward to next season with as much optimism and confidence as ever. That was when Dani Alves floated a ball out left from the right flank to find Jordi Alba, who set himself expertly before unleashing a rasping volley past Silva and into the back of the net. Their priority this season has always been winning the Copa del Rey and they achieved that two weeks ago at La Cartuja in their own city.

Catalans claim last-minute 2-1 win at Benito Villamarin to guarantee place in next season's Champions League.

It's a great goal, the cross, the finish... Now we want to be second (in the league)." "The second goal was earned. "Ansu makes a difference. It could have been a more complicated and difficult season," Xavi said. We have to analyse it, but we have made a titanic effort from November until now.
