Real Madrid slips again as Betis takes advantage
Real Madrid’s struggles in La Liga continued on Saturday night as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Real Betis. the loss gives both Barcelona and Atlético Madrid a golden opportunity to overtake los blancos in the title race.
Bright start but defensive lapses cost Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti’s side, looking to regain momentum after a series of disappointing results, started well in Seville. with Kylian Mbappé back in the starting lineup, Real Madrid appeared sharp in the early stages. their positive approach paid off when Ferland Mendy found space down the left flank and picked out Brahim Díaz, who calmly slotted home to give Madrid a 1-0 lead.
Betis fights back
Despite falling behind, Real Betis quickly found their rhythm. ten minutes before halftime, the home side equalized through Johnny Cardoso. a well-delivered corner from former Real Madrid playmaker Isco exposed Madrid’s weak zonal marking, allowing Cardoso to rise above the defense and head in the equalizer. The controversy surrounding the match only added to Madrid’s frustration. Betis winger Antony, who had initially been suspended due to a red card, was cleared to play after his ban was overturned—a decision that angered Real Madrid’s camp.
Isco haunts his former club
After the break, Betis continued to push forward and were rewarded in the 65th minute. Jesús Rodríguez was brought down in the box by Antonio Rüdiger, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Isco, eager to prove a point against his former club, stepped up and confidently converted, putting Betis ahead 2-1. Madrid failed to mount a serious comeback, with Betis looking the more dangerous side throughout the match. the hosts controlled possession, created more chances, and fully deserved the victory.
Title race wide open
This defeat leaves Real Madrid stuck on 54 points, level with Barcelona, who play Real Sociedad on Sunday. Atlético Madrid beat Bilbao to leapfrog Real Madrid on the table. With the La Liga title race tightening, Madrid’s inconsistency could prove costly. Ancelotti’s team will need to find form quickly or risk falling further behind in the battle for domestic supremacy.
