Rodri scored his first goal for Barcelona.

The defensive midfielder found the net in Barcelona’s 5–2 victory over Real Betis, following a fierce contest that also saw a red card.

After the match, Rodri said: "I’m happy to have scored my first goal because it helped the team make it 2–1 at an important moment.

I don’t usually talk about football pitches and playing surfaces, but this one really disrupted the rhythm of the match. It was impossible to play well.”

Barcelona remain perfect in La Liga.
