Real Madrid were left frustrated at the final whistle as Real Betis grabbed a late equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw in a game that looked to be slipping away from them.

Madrid Let It Slip Late

Real Madrid started the game well and controlled large parts of it. They moved the ball with confidence, created chances, and eventually found the breakthrough. For long spells, they looked in control. But football punishes teams that don’t finish the job, and that’s what happened here.

Betis kept pushing. Even when they went behind, they stayed in the game and waited for their chance. That moment came late, and Madrid will feel they should have done better. A lapse in concentration at the back gave Betis the opening, and they took it.

This moment sums up where Real Madrid are right now. Things are not clicking.

Pressure Builds as Form Slips

Real Madrid have just one win in their last six matches. They drew against Betis and Girona, lost to Bayern Munich and Mallorca, and only managed a narrow win over Alaves. That run is below their usual standard, and the pressure is growing.

There are also fresh concerns around key players. After the match, Álvaro Arbeloa spoke about Kylian Mbappé and said, “Is Mbappé injured? I don’t know, he said he suffers from discomfort, we’ll see.” That uncertainty comes at a difficult time.

Recent Meetings Show Tight Margins

Recent games between Real Betis and Real Madrid show how close these matches usually are.

Their latest meeting on April 24, 2026 ended 1-1. Earlier this year, Madrid won 5-1 at home. Betis also claimed a 2-1 win in March 2025. Madrid won 2-0 in September 2024, while the May 2024 game ended 0-0. Another 1-1 draw in December 2023 shows how often these teams cancel each other out.

Title Race Slipping Away

While Madrid drop points, FC Barcelona continue to move closer to the title. They could go 11 points clear at the top of La Liga if they win their next match.

It shows how important results are at this stage. Nottingham Forest recently showed that with a strong away win against Sunderland, scoring five goals and controlling the game from start to finish. Madrid had control here, but they could not finish the job.
