Barcelona defeated Real Betis 3-1 in La Liga to create history by becoming the first team to win all 19 of their home matches in a 38-game season.

The Spanish champions led 1-0 at halftime after Raphinha opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a free-kick before adding his second goal in the 62nd minute after capitalising on a mistake from Real Betis captain Hector Bellerin.

Real Betis pulled one back through Isco from the penalty spot after Gavi conceded a foul, but Barcelona restored their two-goal advantage when Joao Cancelo curled home a long-range effort.

Barcelona, who secured the La Liga title last week with a win over Real Madrid, also became the first side since Real Madrid in the 1985–86 season to maintain a perfect home record throughout a league campaign.
