6 December 2025
Ferran Torres, Barcelona's talisman, struck a hat-trick against Real Betis on Saturday night as La Liga's matchday 15 unfolded at Seville's La Cartuja stadium, in front of a raucous Andalusian crowd.
Highlights
Torres silenced Betis by striking two early goals, tying the game in the 11th and taking the lead in the 13th minute. Then, the Brazilian Antony added a third for Barcelona in the 31st, and Torres completed the quartet with a fourth in the 40th.
According to Opta, Torres has eight goals in 11 league matches against Betis, his best return versus a single opponent.
Opta also noted Torres contributed to 10 goals across his last five Liga meetings with Betis (eight goals and two assists).
At halftime, Barcelona led 4-1 after Antony opened the scoring in the sixth minute.
The scoreboard reflected Barcelona's dominance, while Betis faced a tough task despite a late push.
Punchline: If football were a buffet, Torres just ordered the hat-trick combo—starter, main, and dessert, all in one.
Punchline 2: Betis will need a nap, a map, and a miracle to find their defense again next week.
