Real Madrid serves the title to Barça on a "plate", with the Madrid team getting stuck again, this time in a 1-1 draw away to Real Betis. 5 weeks before the end of La Liga, the title in Spain has become an equation with only one unknown, when Barcelona will be mathematically declared champion. Alvaro Arbeloa had not spared any of the starters, aware that his future is also at stake these weeks, but Real has lost its former brilliance, now they are a team that does not inspire fear.

In the 17th minute it was Vinicius jr who found the net, with the Brazilian striker following the action well and with a precise shot inside the area, Real Madrid took the lead. The goal shook Betis, with Pellegrini's team producing numerous scoring chances, but goalkeeper Lunin on a great evening kept the team in the game, at least until the 94th minute. In the last breath, after several attempts, it took a true Catalan like Hector Bellerin, a player who grew up in the youth of Barça, who inside the area surprised Real by equalizing the figures at 1-1, a real assist for Hansi Flick in the title race.

Real Madrid lost not only the two points from this match, but also Kylian Mbappe, with the Frenchman leaving the field injured. After the match, Alvaro Arbeloa once again stood there making movioles, in his eyes this was another match decided by the referee who denied him a penalty.
