Nine points separate Barça from Madrid after yesterday’s game. Is there a League or is there not a League? It can be said that there is a League until the Camp Nou game is over, but Barça is gathering ballots. Now he is in a hurry because he lacks edge in attack, lacking as he is in Pedri, Dembélé and Lewandowski, but he will improve with them. Meanwhile, he is pulling as hard as he can. Against Valencia he started well, he went ahead with a good goal, but in three minutes the bar fell with the penalty missed by Ferran Torres followed by the expulsion of Araujo. With ten, he was locked up and saved because a penalty from Kessié went to limbo, through VAR.
Losing important points against Real Betis
So Madrid went out to the Betis field in need of points, but they lacked a peseta for the hard one. Betis is a good team and as such it exposes, and despite that, with ground ahead, Madrid also did not have the weight in attack that in these conditions, so different from those that Barça opposed, could be expected. The game was fun because it was out of control, a bit like a Western movie, with horseback riding, shots and people falling to the ground. Courtois and Bravo, dressed in black in honor of Iribar, completed the tribute by leaving clean sheets. The riots, the escapades and the danger were mostly Vinicius’s business, who you always find where the guitar is.
