Barcelona show signs of fatigue in a tough draw against Real Betis

It’s a net positive in the race for the Liga title with Real Madrid dropping three points against Valencia, but Barcelona will leave their home turf frustrated, knowing there was an opportunity to create more distance at the top of the table.

Big picture, you can’t be too hard on yourself if you’re a Barcelona player. They were the better team against a very in form Real Betis, but couldn’t break a deadlock that the men from Seville were content to maintain.

In a brutal stretch of four games coming out of the international break, Barcelona have three wins and a draw.
