Good night. I hope you enjoyed the game and I invite you to keep getting informed through ABC and abc.es
With Betis’s complaints about Barcelona’s first goal, we are going to leave them. Don’t miss Madrid’s match against Valencia tomorrow, vital for the whites so as not to be left behind and also for the Che, who are risking their lives and permanence
Juanmi gives his opinion
“We know what happens with these teams, that they beat you at the minimum. In the first goal, they make a previous foul on Aitor and then in the free kick that they take they take it from far away, but hey, nothing happens. I’m trying to get the best level and be able to have the best level of competition again. The fight will be until the end and we will be fighting to get into the top positions”
Manuel Pellegrini regretted some occasions
“It was a very even match.”
“The first goal was quite a conflictive action. A free kick that was not collected and then they kicked off from twenty meters further on. But the match was very balanced, anyone could win it and Barcelona won it”
Xavi was satisfied
“We have played a great game. The game has been excellent in many phases. We have been able to decide even though we have complicated our lives in an isolated play. Very happy with the result but above all for the game. We have improved a lot. We had control and We played in the opposite field, arriving well. In the end we rotated more out of fatigue than performance. They played a brilliant game. The team is involved and it shows”
Raphinha opened the scoring
“The feeling is very good, we are working very hard and the results are the points we have. It is important to continue trusting in the season. They are difficult matches because Betis is a very good team. If there are chances you have to score them. I don’t think “That the referee favored us. It was a great match. I didn’t ask for a penalty but it touched me and I fell on the field, the referee must know if it’s a penalty or not, and he also has the help of VAR”
Borja Iglesias was angry
“Against Barça there are always games like this, it’s difficult to take the ball away from them, they submit you. The penalty was the first goal, we were fine, but from then on to think about the next game. I’m angry because I feel that sometimes there are things We’ve had occasions where we should have been better at the top. But even so, we competed a lot.”
William Carvalho has seen the red while he went to changing rooms
The protagonists applaud

On the previous occasion, Ansu Fati headed in a good cross from Balde but Lewandowski was behind, much better placed

Ansu Fati fueraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
These two goals put enormous pressure on Madrid, who will start the match against Valencia tomorrow, eight points behind Barça

Have you already had dinner or are you waiting for the game to end? I am in the second group. But the truth is that the game is so interesting that I don’t even hear the growls of my stomach
Well, about to start the second part
We will see if Xavi and Pellegrini make changes at this break to try to find some variation
Good first half for both teams in an entertaining game. Barcelona continues with a clean sheet and Betis without losing in a field, where they have only given up one defeat all season
The referee does not add anything
Finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal of the first part

what occasion of Pedriwho receives a ball inside the area, gets rid of two rivals on a tile, whom he leaves seated but abuses the ball and wants to dribble the goalkeeper instead of passing it to Bucketwho was alone… Xavi, genius and pacifier Pedri, gets angry… in equal parts

Min. 9
Relax Xavi and also Pellegrini. The Betis coach knows that it is difficult for someone to win at Villamarín
Min. 5
missing about GaviHow well the ‘6’ looks on the back. He is already a Barça player until 2026 and whoever wants him should pay a billion. Unless the LaLiga resource bears fruit
Perhaps the Koundé Every time you touch the ball, is it because of your past at Sevilla?
Raphinhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa al cuerpo del portero
Good through ball from Koundé but the referee just signaled the Brazilian offside
