How Many Points Separate Barcelona and Real Madrid?
FC Barcelona failed to secure a win in a tough visit to Real Betis in Seville, with the home team fighting hard to earn a valuable 2-2 draw, highlighted by a goal in added time.
First, Robert Lewandowski struck his sixteenth goal of the season in La Liga at the 39th minute. However, the hosts pulled one back with a penalty converted by Giovani Lo Celso in the 68th minute.
Then, Ferran Torres scored, with a bit of magic from Lamine Yamal at the 82nd minute, but this was overshadowed by an incredible goal from Assane Diao in the 90'+4.
How Many Points Separate Barcelona from Real Madrid?
After the final whistle at the Benito Villamarín, Barcelona is now five points behind second-placed Real Madrid. All eyes will be on Carlo Ancelotti's side as they face Girona. If they secure three points at Montolivi, they would narrow the gap to just two points, remembering they also have a pending match against Valencia.
The end of the year looks crucial, as Atlético Madrid is closing in on the top spot, just six points behind—nothing out of reach. The more Barcelona stumbles, the more complicated their situation becomes.
