Barcelona was unable to string together consecutive wins dropping points against Real Betis, jeopardizing its lead atop La Liga's standings over Real Madrid.
It was a difficult afternoon for Flick's men against a disciplined, well organized and tireless Betis side that looked physically superior. Barcelona was still in position to steal a win, but an Assane Diao's stoppage time equalizer summed up Barça's disappointing second half performance. The Catalans saw a seven-year La Liga win streak at the Estadio Benito Villamarín come to an end.
