Real Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw at Real Betis on Sunday to fall nine focuses behind pioneers Barcelona at the highest point of the LaLiga table.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois tipped an early shot from Real Betis forward Ayoze Perez over the bar before striker Karim Benzema had an objective for Genuine Madrid denied when his free kick contacted Antonio Rudiger's arm on its way into the rear of the net.
Claudio Bravo made a save money on Benzema after halftime, and Courtois denied Borja Iglesias with a point-clear stop at the opposite end, before Genuine Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes missed maybe the game's most obvious opportunity, skying Federico Valverde's cross askew.
Real Madrid will continue to battle for the rest of the time - - the club's exclusive requirements request nothing less - - except for this draw saw Barcelona's lead at the highest point of LaLiga reached out to nine places, and it's difficult to visualize a situation wherein Barca's effective, if unremarkable, group under director Xavi wastes that benefit.
Real Madrid's exhibition here was not poor. Real Betis are a decent group and the Estadio Benito Villamarin is a scary field, however Madrid were the better side, ruling belonging, making more possibilities and finishing the game with a normal objectives of 1.21 to Betis' 0.41. They were baffled by some unfortunate getting done, and a strong presentation by veteran Claudio Bravo in the Betis objective.
As Madrid pursued a victor, notwithstanding, the restrictions of their crew were in plain view. Mentor Carlo Ancelotti seemed hesitant to present going after options off the seat, with protectors Dani Carvajal and Nacho and midfielder Dani Ceballos all sent on before young person Alvaro Rodriguez was at last called upon in the 87th moment.
A 0-0 draw here is no shame, however with regards to a title race where Madrid basically couldn't bear to drop additional focuses, it's an unpleasant blow.
