Barcelona had a great opportunity to increase the gap with Real Madrid and increase their chances of maintaining their top position. However, Barcelona unexpectedly failed to do so. The first half of the match looked like Barcelona would win the match easily, but the final result was completely different. Both teams performed well in the match. Although Barcelona is ahead in terms of possession, they are behind Real Betis in terms of attack.
There is a big difference between Barcelona at the beginning of the season and Barcelona today. This may be due to the injuries of some of their key players. However, I think the injuries of the players are just an excuse. The coach must plan with the current players in his team and create unity among them.
In several matches, Barcelona's performance looked different, especially their attacking line which could not always be effective in creating opportunities so that they did not make many dangerous attacks even though they controlled many ball positions, overall if we look at this match the draw was quite fair even though Barcelona had to concede in the final minutes of the match but Real Betis did play quite effectively.
And in another match this week Real Madrid managed to win over Girona, even though they were not favored at first but Real Madrid were able to win this match easily.
Mbappe who is currently being talked about again was able to score a goal in this match, I hope this can improve his mentality to be able to play better in the future.
For the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid at this time I think it is not that important for both of them because this season's journey is still very long and Barcelona and Real Madrid only need to be consistent in showing their best performance and that is a problem for both teams now.
