The La Liga title race is far from over and Barça’s draw at Real Betis on Saturday for the 16th day is a reminder of this once again. Hansi Flick’s team leaves Seville with their heads in the bag since the German coach’s players conceded the Andalusian equalizing goal at the end of added time of the match (2-2)…
The Blaugranas led twice thanks to Robert Lewandowski on a cross from Jules Koundé (39th) and Ferran Torres (82nd). Lamine Yamal made the difference in both actions by hitting from the right. But the Verdiblancos ignited the Benito-Villamarin crowd, during this beautiful sunny afternoon, by equalizing through Giovani Lo Celsto from the penalty spot (68th) then through Assane Diao in the 94th minute. The recovery of the Hispano-Senegalese passed between the legs of Inigo Martinez…
Real virtually ahead of Barça!
Real, second in the standings, plays in Girona, Catalonia, this Saturday evening (9 p.m.) and can come back to within two points of FC Barcelona with a game in hand! Atlético can also join the title race. Antoine Griezmann and his teammates are six points behind the Barcelona leader but with two matches less, the first being the reception of Sevilla on Sunday.
Barça is playing a Champions League clash against Dortmund next Wednesday in Westphalia, and will absolutely have to win next weekend when Léganes come to Montjuic.
