Betis' tactics were spot on

Traveling to the Camp Nou is a tough task for any coach, but Quique Setien will leave the stadium with a huge smile on his face. His tactics paved the way for an impressive victory against a strong Barca side.

Betis were calm and composed under possession and did not hesitate to play around in their own box as times. Setien deployed a three-man defense, and used the pacy duo of Cristian Tello and Junior Firpo as wing-backs to stretch the pitch while on the attack.

They looked to play Barca at their own game and maintained possession to draw the press from their opponents. This allowed them to counter effectively, which was vital in three of their four goals. Giovani Lo Celso played a starring role, and all his teammates carried out their tasks to secure an impressive victory.
