It was a perfect night for FC Barcelona at Spotify Camp Nou. And the 4-0 defeat of Betis included the beautiful sight of both Andreas Christensen and Ousmane Dembélé returning from injury.
The Danish defender not only started the game but also scored the first goal of the night, heading in after 14 minutes. He had been out for 37 days after getting hurt while on international duty. After playing 59 minutes of today's game, he was eventually substituted by Marcos Alonso.
Ousmane Dembélé came on after 73 minutes as a replacement for Raphinha, scorer of one goal and provider of one assist. In his 20 minutes on the field he showed that he has lost none of his touch in almost three months on the side-lines, creating a stream of chances and coming close to scoring on more than one occasion. He hadn't played since the derby at Girona 90 days earlier
