Real Madrid has suffered an expensive loss of points in the battle for the Spanish league title. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa’s team drew 1-1 against Real Betis.
Leader FC Barcelona now has an eight-point lead with one game less. Barça will play against Getafe on Saturday in the 33rd round.
Vinícius Júnior gave Real Madrid an early lead, but the number 2 in La Liga was unable to push through afterwards. Deep into injury time, Héctor Bellerín scored the equalizer for the Seville club.
Real Madrid is experiencing a disappointing season, in which the club will most likely not win a trophy. In the Champions League they lost to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. In the Spanish Cup things went wrong in January against Albacete, active in the second level.
Due to the loss of points when visiting Betis, the national title is also far away for De Koninklijke. Barça is one step closer to the second championship in a row.
