This Sunday, Barcelona beat Betis 3-2, at Benito Villamarín, in a match on the 22nd round of the Spanish league.
The Catalans again demonstrated numerous defensive problems and, in the 38th minute, found themselves losing in a very quick transition, with Emerson assisting Borja Iglesias for the decisive shot.
Leo Messi, who started on the bench, joined Riqui Puig in the 57th minute, at the same time that Francisco Trincão replaced Miralem Pjanic. The Argentine only had two minutes to reach the tie, assisted by Dembelé. And nine minutes later, Víctor Ruiz’s own goal confirmed the return culé.
The center-back redeemed himself in the 75th minute by once again equalizing the game at two goals, after the assistance of Fekir.
The best was saved for last, when, following a failed pass attempt by Messi, Francisco Trincão recovered the ball on the edge of the area and shot a monumental goal, the ball still slightly over a defender before entering.
William Carvalho was an unused substitute for Chilean Manuel Pellegrini.
Ronald Koeman’s team equals Real Madrid in second place, seven points behind Atlético de Madrid, which has two games less. Betis is seventh, with 30 points, 20 of those Mattresses.
