What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBarcelona beat Alaves six to one in La Liga, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha each scoring twice, and the club is back on top of the table.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's forty-six goals in eleven league matches. No team has done that since Sevilla in nineteen forty, forty-one.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt follows a loss to Paris Saint-Germain and then a loss to Real Madrid in El Clasico. The government of Barcelona has restored order.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThey held seventy-seven percent of the ball and completed seven hundred seventy-four of eight hundred thirty-six passes.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentExpected goals were three point three to zero point seven eight.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSixty-two passes went astray. I assume there will be an inquiry.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentRaphinha's two put him on fifteen league goals in eleven games, level with Cesar Rodriguez and Leo Messi. Not bad company.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYamal missed a glorious chance from close range too, then scored twice anyway. Hansi Flick took him off after seventy-four minutes.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFlick said scoring twice made that easier. So two goals gets you an early shower.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAtletico Madrid had gone top hours earlier. Barcelona took it back by lunchtime, which is how most coups are described.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSix goals, two braces. Who got Man of the Match?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFermin Lopez. Raphinha and Yamal scored four goals and received a ruling.
