Barcelona Power Past Elche to Maintain Title Charge
Barcelona continued their relentless form with a 3-1 LaLiga victory over Elche, extending their run to 15 wins from the last 16 competitive matches while deepening the hosts’ struggles near mid-table.
The visitors set the tone early, creating chances almost immediately before Lamine Yamal made the breakthrough inside six minutes.
Elche briefly threatened a response and found an equaliser through Alvaro Rodríguez, but Barcelona’s control never wavered.
Ferran Torres restored the lead before half-time after sustained pressure finally told.
Elche showed more intent after the break, yet Barcelona remained dominant in possession and territory.
Yamal sealed the win late on with his second of the night, his 10th goal for the club, putting the contest beyond doubt.
The result keeps Barcelona top of the table and extends their unbeaten run against Elche to 25 meetings, while the hosts remain 12th after suffering only their second home league defeat in 16 matches.
