Barcelona Held to Draw by Real Betis, Title Race Tightens

Hansi Flick's side fails to secure a win despite twice leading, leaving Real Madrid with a chance to overtake in LaLiga standings.

Barcelona drew 2-2 against Real Betis, with goals from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres countered by Giovani Lo Celso and Assane Diao.
The result leaves Barcelona at 38 points from 17 matches, with Real Madrid potentially overtaking them if they win their two games in hand.
Manager Hansi Flick criticized his team's inconsistency and passing style, emphasizing the need to focus on their strengths in upcoming matches.
Flick was shown a red card for protesting a VAR-awarded penalty but stated he would not appeal the decision.
Barcelona now prepares for a Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday before returning to LaLiga action against Leganes.
