Talking points in the match are:
1. BRILLIANT VINICIUS
The Brazilian International footballer has been in blazing form for Real Madrid this season as he has scored 16 goals and 5 assists across all competitions. He was a constant threat on the left wing tonight as his runs and dribbles kept the Real Betis players busy all through 90 minutes.
2. REAL MADRID’S WINLESS RUN
Before tonight’s game, Carlo Ancelotti and his men have failed to get a victory in their last two games against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona respectively. A goalless draw tonight means Real Madrid is now three games without a win in all competitions.
3. REAL MADRID DROPS POINTS
Barca’s win against Valencia earlier today placed Xavi and his men 10 points ahead of Real Madrid. Tonight’s match was a must-win for Carlo Ancelotti and his men to keep their hope of retaining the La Liga title alive.
However, the current Spanish champions could only get a point against Real Betis putting them 9 points behind Barcelona.
