Barca almost almost got full points against Real Betis, but unfortunately Assane Diao thwarted it by scoring a goal in extra time. It is very unfortunate that Barcelona again missed full points in order to keep their distance from their rival teams, as a result this match ended with a score of 2-2. However, Betis deserved it, after all they had several opportunities that threatened Inaki Pena's goal. Yes, the home team in this match had more opportunities, even though Barcelona dominated possession. In the Barcelona camp, this time Hansi Flick was given a red card. It is a bit unique indeed, Barca has received several red cards in their progress. In addition, their performance was less convincing in this match and several players did not play optimally. But there was something different in this match, Flick changed the pattern of his team to 4-3-3. In addition, Flick rotated several of his midfielders. Maybe this is Flick's attempt to outwit the match against Real Betis, but unfortunately the results were not optimal. In other matches, Madrid will visit Girona's headquarters and Atletico will host Sevilla. If both teams win, the points difference will be even thinner. So, let's wait.

Something is wrong with the way Barcelona play recently. If Flick doesn't find a way to make the team click and play well then they might struggle. They don't play well anymore, they don't create as much chances as much as they used to and they're not fluid too.
Just like the Las Palmas game, Betis deserved this point. They played better than Barcelona, they had more chances to score.

I think this draw is on Flick because he kept making chances that were not necessary when he has not secured his win. He just got a goal to make it 2-1 and he kept taking off his major players. At 1-1 he was already taking off players. What was he trying to do? He needed this win because he knows how close Madrid is to him but he just keeps us dropping points.

I see Madrid winning today against Girona even though it might not be an easy game for Madrid. Rodygo won't be playing, same as Vini and Camavinga. I don't know how Madrid will cope without all these players but Girona is not in the kind of form to win Madrid.
