Real Madrid lost further to bitter rivals FC Barcelona in the LaLiga title race after dropping further points on Sunday.

Following Barcelona’s hard-earned win over Valencia earlier on, Real Madrid came into the game against Real Betis knowing only a win would be enough to keep the pressure on their bitter rivals.
However, after 90 minutes at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, Carlo Ancelotti’s men led by Karim Benzema were expertly caged by the hosts
Benzema came the closest to goal for both sides when he netted a perfect free kick in the first half but the VAR ruled it out for a foul.
Real Betis showed that their fifth position on the LaLiga table was no fluke with a solid defensive performance despite missing two of the star players against Real Madrid.
