Barcelona passed a frustrating evening against Real Betis on Saturday, but a draw still expanded their lead at the top of La Liga after Real Madrid was defeated with Valencia earlier in the day.
Gavi had given Barcelona a dream start at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company, but In-Form Betis insured a point thanks to a Natan header in the first half. While it ends the nine-match winning streak from the Catalan side in La Liga, it continued undefeated to 2025.
According to Diario, As, Hansi Flick, head coach of Barcelona, gave his opinion about the game against Betis. He has chosen to concentrate on the positive side, instead of looking at it as two points that have fallen.
“I told the players that there is now one game less and we have another point. I left with the fact that the team gave everything and tried to score a different goal, but it wasn't. We were bad luck for the goal. I am happy with what I saw in the second half.”
“On days when you are unable to score, you have to accept it. We have to think positively. I am clear that we have tried everything. I look at it that it is positive. It is still a point. We are in April and we are in a good situation. We have to continue. All we have made is exceptional. Not only the staff, this is a family very good to see.”
For Barcelona, attention will now quickly focus on the first stage of their Champions League quarterfinals draw against Borussia Dortmund, which will take place in the Estadi Olimpic on Wednesday. The side of Flick is one of the favorites to win the competition, but the Bundesliga giants will offer a very difficult test.
