Barcelona 5-2 Real Betis: 5 Men who were brilliant for the Catalans

#4 Carles Perez

Carles Perez scored Barcelona's third goal

Carles Perez had a slow start to the game, stationed on the right side of the front three. The Spaniard struggled to have an impact in the final third in the first half, even though his movement and off the ball running was impressive. He even had a good opportunity to score right at the stroke of half time but squandered the chance. The Spaniard was at the end of another good Barcelona move, at the start of the second half, but he came up short once again.

However, Perez increased in confidence as the game wore on. He combined well with Griezmann and seemed to build an understanding with the Frenchman. And soon enough, he had his big moment of the game.

Nelson Semedo arrived in the box and fed Perez with a good ball, right at the edge of the area. The Spaniard took the ball in his stride, created a little space for himself and sent the ball into the bottom left corner. It was the goal that effectively broke the spirit of the opposition.
