Barcelona extend lead but miss golden opportunity to surge ahead in La Liga

Although it was another point earned for Hansi Flick’s side against Real Betis, and as a result they stretch their lead at the top of the table ever so slightly, one can’t help but feel that this was two points dropped rather then one gained.

Once Gavi had given the hosts the lead, Barca could and should’ve eased into their normal patterns of play and, for large parts they did.

Where they were lacking was in attack with Lamine Yamal looking particularly tired on the night.
