After Real's defeat against Valence, FC Barcelona lacks the opportunity to fly at the top of the ranking.
The mark is missed. Largely dominating, FC Barcelona could not do better than a draw on Saturday (1-1) on its lawn against Betis Seville and let go of a golden opportunity to widen the gap with its great rival Real Madrid, beaten (2-1) by Valence. Despite this, Barça (1st, 67 points), which had just chained nine championship victories, remains ideally placed in the title race, now four lengths ahead of Real (2nd, 63 points) at the top of the Liga.
The young Spanish midfielder Gavi had opened the scoring in the 8th minute of a crossed strike in the small net at the end of a beautiful collective movement, but the men of Hansi Flick, still undefeated in 2025, were surprised on a corner picked up by the head by the Brazilian defender Natan (17th, 1-1).
This point allows the Betis (5th, 48 points), the team in the form of the moment in Liga, to grant temporarily from fifth place, just ahead of Villarreal (6th, 47 points), which faces the Athletic Bilbao (4th, 53 points) on Sunday in the other shock of this 30th day.
