Raphinha brace powers Barcelona to historic perfect home season

Flawless finish at the Nou Camp

Barcelona beat Real Betis 3‑1 at the Nou Camp to close the season with a 100 % home record, winning all 19 matches in front of their own supporters.

The record didn’t need much decoration; it already did the talking.

Raphinha opens and doubles the lead

Raphinha opened the scoring with a free‑kick just before the half‑hour, bending the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area. You don’t often see a wide player turn set‑piece taker—most of his work is done with pace.

He doubled the lead after the break when a defensive error by Héctor Bellerín left the ball loose in the box.

Farewell and closing goal

Robert Lewandowski’s farewell appearance at the stadium coincided with a Real Betis fightback: Isco converted a penalty heading into the final 20 minutes.

A penalty in the final quarter gave the visitors hope, but the outcome was never truly in doubt as João Cancelo struck soon after to restore a two‑goal cushion and wrap up a 3‑1 win, sealing a perfect home season.
