In the early morning of April 16, Beijing time, a match in the 32nd round of La Liga, Real Sociedad hosted Betis. As a result, after 90 minutes of fighting, the two sides only drew 0-0. Such a result is an unfriendly reality for both sides, which can be described as a lose-lose situation.
Before the game, Real Betis was 5th in La Liga and 6th for Real Sociedad. These two teams are the dark horses of the season and may at any time grab the top 4 Champions League places. Such an important game, once lost, can basically be said to withdraw from the ranks of the 4, so both sides are very cautious about the game.
In the 17th minute of the match, Suvimendi pushed a shot from the back post, but the referee decided that there were players offside, and Real Sociedad was happy. In the ensuing time, the two sides have been caught in a tug-of-war, and due to the excellent performance of the two goalkeepers in this game, neither of them has been able to break through the opponent's door. In the final moments of the match, former Manchester City star Silva was given a red card for dissatisfaction with the referee, and he was likely to miss the next round of the match against Barca.
The result of the whole game was only 0-0, which was a score that neither manager wanted to see. On Betis' side, they scored 1 point and had no chance of overtaking Atletico to return to the top 4. In the current situation, Betis is 15 points behind Real Madrid. With 5 games left on the schedule, the Galactic can be said to have locked in a place in the Champions League next season.
In addition to the league competition for Champions League qualification, Betis actually has an important trophy this season, that is, the final of the Copa del Rey. At the end of the month, Betis will compete with Valencia for the trophy of the Copa del Rey. The last time Betis won the Copa del Rey was in 2005.
Real Sociedad, too, is the subject of this game. After missing the 3 points, their gap with the top 4 teams is likely to be further widened. And considering that there is no Silva against Barca in the next round, the prospects of the team are not optimistic. In recent seasons, Real Sociedad has been the dark horse of the league, but there is no way to finally qualify for the Champions League.
The two teams competing for 4 are directly drawn, and the top 4 clubs are undoubtedly the biggest beneficiaries. Excluding Real Madrid, in fact, from Barcelona in the second place to Atletico Inletico in the fourth place, in fact, the Champions League qualification is not stable. Once there are signs of slipping performance, it is likely that it will be difficult to qualify for next season's Champions League.
Of course, for Real Madrid, such worries do not exist. After this round, they have a high probability of qualifying for the Champions League with a high probability. Of course, for the Galaxy, the goal this season is to win the double championship of the league and the Champions League, and the hope is really not small at present.
