Real Madrid loses to Betis and loses 10 points in 5 matches
The Spanish club, Real Madrid, continued its streak of losing points after wasting an early lead by one goal and suffering a 2-1 defeat against Real Betis in the Spanish League on Saturday.
With this, Real Madrid lost ten points in the last 5 weeks only, as it was only able to achieve a win on one occasion, while drawing two draws and losing twice, which will cause increased pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Real Madrid started the match strong and scored its first goal in the "Tiki Taka" style. It came after 19 touches of the ball between the players, and Ferlan Mendy was able to score the first goal with the club since 2022, after a play that he passed in the direction of Brahim Diaz, who scored the net.
Real Madrid entered its match hosted by Real Betis in a wonderful manner, scoring the lead goal through Moroccan Brahim Diaz.
However, the star Isco sparked a revolution for Real Betis against his former club and was able to score the equalizer for Johnny Cardoso, who scored his first goal with his club this season, amid the absence of defensive monitoring from Real Madrid’s defences.
Real Madrid found it difficult without the wonderful duo Federico Valverde and Bellingham, and was lackluster offensively despite the presence of the world-class trio Vinicius, Kylian Mbappe and Rodrigo.
While a clear advantage appeared in the second half for Real Betis until the star Isco was able to send a special pass in the direction of Jesus Rodriguez, who was fouled by Antonio Rudiger, earning a penalty kick.
Star Isco executed the penalty kick with full force against goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and celebrated noisily with the fans in front of his former club.
With this result, Real Madrid's balance freezes at 54 points from twenty-six matches, and it is now in second place, on goal difference, after Barcelona, the leader, who is experiencing a period of brilliance and achieved victory in the last 5 matches, and will be able to widen the gap when it hosts Real Sociedad on Sunday.
