Barcelona made a strong return to winning form with a 3-1 victory over Elche on Sunday, easing the sting of their recent 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in El Clasico. The victory saw them move into second place in the La Liga standings, with 25 points, just five behind league leaders Real Madrid.
The match, held at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium, was a dominant performance from the defending La Liga champions. Young star Lamine Yamal opened the scoring, followed by a goal from Ferran Torres. Marcus Rashford added a third for Barcelona, ensuring the three points were firmly secured.
Despite Elche’s best efforts, Barcelona’s attacking power proved too much to handle. The win will be a confidence booster for Xavi Hernandez’s side as they continue their quest to defend their La Liga title.
