Barcelona beats Elche 3-1 on Sunday to reclaim momentum in LaLiga. The home side grabbed an early lead with Lamine Yamal scoring in the ninth minute and Ferran Torres doubling the advantage two minutes later.
Elche pulled one back through Rafa Mir just before halftime, creating tension in the second half. However, the pivotal moment arrived when Marcus Rashford scored in the 61st minute, off the crossbar, to restore Barcelona’s two-goal cushion.
Despite Elche earning 51% possession, Barcelona controlled the game and secured the win. Many fans welcomed the result after the club’s recent El Clasico defeat.
One supporter tweeted: “Barcelona battles back—Elche gave everything, but Barça showed class.” Another wrote: “Yamal, Torres, Rashford—our forward line produced magic again.”
According to statistics, Barcelona now sit second in the table with 25 points from 11 games, five points behind Real Madrid. Coach Hansi Flick commended his team’s strong start and urged greater consistency going forward.
Furthermore, commentators noted the performance demonstrated Barcelona’s resilience and attacking depth, especially with several key players injured.
Fans and analysts alike will watch closely to see if the club maintains this form in upcoming fixtures. Barcelona’s victory thus signals their intent to stay in the title race.
