Five or more goals for the eighth time

Roger Bogunyà

FC Barcelona have now scored five or more times in a game eight times this season and have notched up 89 goals in all competitions.

► Betis were the latest team to be on the end of a hiding from Guardiola’s team this season, joining Panathinaikos in the Champions League, Seville, Almeria, Madrid, Real Sociedad and Espanyol in la Lliga, as well as Ceuta in the Cup.

► The win at the Nou Camp on Wednesday was the fourth 5-0 of the season after Seville, Madrid and Real Sociedad suffered the same fate.

► Of the 89 goals so far this season, 39 have come in the first half and 50 in the second.

► Barça have hit the post 21 times this season, seven of them coming from the unlucky David Villa.

► Piqué was the player who recovered most possession in the game – 12 times.

► Afellay made his Nou Camp debut after coming on in the second half for the third game on the run.

► Bojan missed out on a Cup squad for the first time this season.

► Pinto has conceded just two goals in his seven games this season.

► Pedro, who is the second highest scorer of the Guardiola era, scored his 38th goal for the club, having scored 19 at home at 19 on the road.

► Abidal sat on the bench for the first time since the Barça-Rubin Kazan game.

► Keita scored his second goal of the season and his first at the Nou Camp. His other goal came in the San Mamés in la Lliga (1-3). It’s also his first goal in the Cup of the 14 he’s notched up for the club.

► Jeffren, who came on for the last few minutes of the game, was back in a game for the first time since he was injured against Rubin Kazan.
