Barcelona had it more better today. Real Madrid lost while Barcelona drew. It is more preferably to draw than to lose since you will be going home with one point instead of no point. However i am no surprise Real Madrid lost in the game, they may be trying to reserve some players against the upcoming match in the champions league against Arsenal. To me i dont think they are ready yet. They will lose the La Liga and also lose the champions league trophy.
This was a golden opportunity for Barcelona to scrub upon their oppositions but they couldn't take it. They have to settle for lesser outcome and this is probably not happening in the clear picture for Hansi Flick. Barcelona did their best but it wasn't good enough and them facing one of the tough side, Real Betis we know winning wouldn't come easy for them.
Real Madrid defeat came as a result of inconsistent performance and underrating ratio when they face their oppositions. If Real Madrid must recover their stands, they just have to put in enough work to ensure they're grabbing every solid stands in the system.
