I'm not too impressed with Barcelona of recent because the way they started the season and how they are playing now are totally opposite. They started very well and in high spirit and were consistently winning every other matches. But now they are far from being consistent. They are playing Real Betis, a team that lost two of their recent matches yet they have refused to yield to Barcelona who won first half only for the host to equalize in the second half. Real Madrid will be very happy for this outcome.
Today's match was completely unexpected for Barcelona as they conceded a goal with just a few minutes left. And this match of Real Betis against Barcelona was unfortunately a draw. As always, Barcelona played very good football in today's match, but they did not win this match today. The performance in today's match will probably disappoint all Barcelona fans as they have won just one of their last five matches. Barcelona have drawn two and lost two of their last five matches, They are not performing consistently.
The player rotation carried out by Hansi Flick managed to make Barcelona take the lead again, but unfortunately the victory that was in sight disappeared before the long whistle was blown by the referee. The match ended very dramatically, and no one expected Real Betis to be able to equalize in the extra time. Overall, Barcelona threw away the opportunity to keep their position at the top of the standings safe from Real Madrid pursuit. It's true, Barcelona has not been able to perform consistently, even though a number of key players are back available. In fact, if you look at Real Madrid condition this season which has been hit by injuries, Barcelona has gained enough momentum to win the trophy, but unfortunately they are equally inconsistent with Real Madrid. Maybe this is the season that will be profitable for Atletico Madrid.
