Barcelona continued their dominant start to 2025 with a comfortable victory over Real Betis to secure their spot in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.

Gavi opened the scoring only three minutes into the contest to send Barcelona on their way to victory. The Blaugrana had several other chances in the coming minutes, until Jules Koundé fired home a screamer to double Barcelona's lead in the 22nd minute.

The script didn't change for the second half with Barcelona's attacking firepower on full display. Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal added their names to the scoresheet as the Catalans scored five for a second game in a row. Vitor Roque scored Betis's consolation goal from the penalty spot, but it was a full on throttling by a Barcelona side that has started the year playing like they did in the early months of the season.

Hansi Flick's side looks confident and on the back of lifting their first trophy of the campaign with the Spanish Super Cup, the team returned to European soil ready to push for more silverware in the remaining months of the campaign.
