A few hours later, Karim Benzema scored a fine hat-trick as Real Madrid brought down that gap to 12 points, with a 6-0 rout of Real Valladolid, on Sunday. 


Barca’s Polish forward Lewandowski has endured a small dip in form recently, but was back to his lethal best to continue the Catalans’ procession towards their first title since 2019. Ansu Fati also scored for the first time since October in the league and Ferran Torres rounded out the comfortable win, as Xavi was able to start some reserve players ahead of Wednesday’s Copa del Rey semi-final with Real Madrid.
