Despite being plagued by injuries, Real Madrid have shown the strength of Europe's top clubs, beating Granada in their last game to move top of the table and beating Napoli in the Champions League so they don't have to face Bayern Munich and Manchester City. In the 16th round of the Spanish League, Real Madrid visited the Lopella Stadium to face Betis, and after 90 minutes, both teams scored a goal, and then both teams hit the post, and the score was 1-1.
Betis have continued their European qualification style this season, finishing seventh after 15 games, just three points behind fifth-placed Sporting Bilbao, while Real Madrid have failed to beat Betis in their last six seasons. Kepa Arrizabalaga returned, albeit on the bench, while Lunin was trusted by Carlo Ancelotti to keep the goalFerran Mendy, Toni Rudiger, Alaba, Vazquez, set up their defence;Ernesto Valverde, Kroos and Luka Modric were partnered, with Jude Bellingham playing up front. Dias joined forces with Rod and Rigo up front and his defence improved at half-time. Isco faced off against his former club.
As soon as the game began, the 2 teams began to attack tentatively and did not pose much of a threat to their opponents. In the 16th minute, Rodrigora crossed from the side to the left, Bellingham heeled, Rodrygo broke through in the penalty area and took Pezzella through the penalty area, Ruival made up for it, but was kicked by Dias, and then bounced into the goal, but this "pie in the sky" was immediately blown off by the referee, Rodrigo grabbed the front and did not get a penalty.
In the 31st minute, Ayosse Perez broke down the right and William Jose's header was blocked, and then Ayose-'s low shot was saved by Lunin;A little over a minute later, Betis launched a high-speed attack when Willian Jose met Rudiger in the box and fired a shot at the post. In the 40th minute, Luka Modric broke the line in the box and a long-range shot was blocked by Rui Silva.
In this stalemate, they have to have a central figure, and the most important one for Real Madrid this season is Jude Bellingham. Sure enough, in the 53rd minute of the first half, Bellingham carried a pass from the left, Dias took his pass straight through, Bellingham took the ball to the distance, 1:0!Bellingham have scored 12 Premier League goals this season and have also scored 16 goals in 18 times in all competitions
In the 57th minute, Rodrygo used his strength to force a rush to the vicinity of the penalty area, and he did not shoot from the zero angle at the first time, but failed to send the ball away. Betis haven't lost on their own turf this season, so he didn't throw in the towel, and on 66 minutes, Willian Jose made a beautiful counter-attack on the right and Ruival hit a world wave from 25 yards, but this time, Lunin couldn't do anything, 1:1!The two were back together.
Carlo Ancelotti made the first change, bringing on Ceballos, Joselu and Nico Paz. In the 90th minute, when Iska grabbed the spot, his shot hit the post!Real Madrid survived. A little over a minute later, Real Madrid counter-attacked, broke through two defenders and sent the ball to the crossbar for Joselu's shot!
