Real Betis 1 - 2 Barcelona : Barcelona secure Champions League qualification thanks to late Jordi Alba winner
A stunning goal from Jordi Alba deep into injury time gave Barcelona a 2-1 victory at Real Betis to secure qualification for the Champions League next season.
Alba's unstoppable volley at the back post means Barcelona now have an unassailable 11-point lead over fifth-placed Betis with three games of the LaLiga season remaining.
Earlier, Barcelona had taken the lead with a first goal since January for Ansu Fati in the 76th minute. But Barca were pegged back almost immediately when former Camp Nou defender Marc Bartra headed home a corner just three minutes later.
Alba's late goal means Xavi Hernandez has achieved his main aim after taking over midseason. It also gives Barcelona a healthy five point cushion in second place, although third-placed Sevilla have played a game fewer.
