Barcelona rolled Real Betis over on Sunday night in a games Pies were pleasantly surprised to discover being broadcast live on ITV4 in the UK.
As it happens, Lionel Messi scored another run-of-the-mill hat-trick (the 51st of his senior career) which was capped off by one of his ho-hum, common-or-garden wonder goals.
Just a first-time lob from the edge of the area over a goalkeeper who had barely begun to wander off his line.
Yawn.
The result re-extends Barca’s lead at the top of La Liga to a fullsome ten points as they continue to saunter toward league title No.26.
