Havana, April 11 (RHC) – FC Barcelona asserted their dominance at the Spotify Camp Nou today, defeating Espanyol 4-1, reinforcing their lead in the Spanish football league and moving closer to the coveted title.
With this victory, Barça reaches 79 points, extending their lead over Real Madrid to nine, and with seven matchdays remaining, the title is clearly on the horizon, where the Blaugrana brilliance is beginning to blend with gold.
Just nine minutes into the match, the Barça party began when Ferran Torres, heading in a cross from Lamine Yamal, opened the scoring.
The script was repeated in the 25th minute with another goal from “The Shark,” which foreshadowed a rout and sent the fans in the stands into a frenzy until halftime.
However, in the second half, Pol Lozano pulled one back for Espanyol with a right-footed shot, until Yamal and Marcus Rashford appeared in the dying minutes to seal the Catalan derby. This Saturday Alavés and Real Sociedad drew 3-3, Elche beat Valencia 1-0 and later Sevilla will face Atlético de Madrid.
