yeah, a very boring match, both of them played just to play, not to win, players were lacking motivation,

You know it, so it is normal if there is nothing interesting in that match.
Real Madrid already won the La Liga title, while Betis can't improve their position. Surely both have no motivation to win, they only played without any purpose in that match. Because of that reason, both teams won't play all out that may spend all energy, especially Real Madrid that needs to keep their fitness to play in UCL final.

But luck for Real Madrid because they can keep their touch of the game to stay at their best. This can be used for the Real Madrid camp before they appear all out in the Champions League final which will definitely drain their energy and concentration. This is like a warm-up event for Real Madrid for the final match later.

It is true that coach Carlo Ancelotti made this match a warm-up to the UCL final by fielding 11 main players such as the club's top scorer, Karim Benzema, up front. However, on the other hand Real Madrid also made a bad record by failing to score in five La Liga matches at the Santiago Bernebeu this season. it was Real Madrid's worst goalless streak at home in a league season, equaling 1984-85 and 1993-94.

Real Madrid players play very carefully, they don't seem insistent and have more motivation to win games even though they are playing at home and in front of their own fans. this draw is very bad for them.
but apart from that we have to appreciate Real Betis' excellent performance, they were able to match Real Madrid and make the match fierce.
