As if slowly saying goodbye to the idea of back to back n Real Madrid.
Another loss of points for the “Queen”, who – no matter how hard they tried in the second half – saw Betis to limit her to 0-0 at “Benito Villamarin” for the 24th matchday of La Liga.
Thus, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is now left at -9 from the pioneer Barcelona, which shows her hugging the champion’s trophy. At the same time, the “verdiblancos” took a point and are in -3 from Real Sociedad and the quartet.
In the matches, Real saw Benzema’s goal disallowed in the 12th minute for handball at the beginning of the phase. The minutes that followed up to the end of the half had no particular rhythm, with the Madrid players having a meaningless superiority and only really threatening in the 32nd minute with Valverde.
However, in the second half the guests turned up the pace. They had important moments with Benzema (49′), Rodrigo (61′) and Thembayos (75′) but the ball – Eleo and Claudio Bravo – did not end up in the net. In between (53′), Betis missed a great opportunity, with Courtois putting a “stop” on Iglesias.
Towards the end, Real intensified their pressure even more. No result, however, with 0-0 remaining until the final whistle.
