Real Madrid' Betis

Real Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw by Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu as the La Liga season draws to a close for the champions.

88’ - WHAT A CHANCE TO WIN IT! Joaquin is presented with a great chance in front of goal from close-range, but blasts it over! The Madrid fans want a penalty on that Benzema trip, but it was outside the box anyway. He met Daniel Carvajal’s cross on the volley to steer a drilled effort towards goal, initially parried out by Rui Silva before Rodrygo snatched at the rebound, but saw his effort deflected wide.

At halftime, Ancelotti replaced Casemiro with Eduardo Camavinga and Toni Kroos with Federico Valverde. Later in the second half he rested Luka Modric, Rodrygo ...

Betis secured fifth place with the draw, its best league finish since 2005. “He will still be one of our captains in Paris,” Ancelotti said.

Real Madrid won La Liga this year so Real Betis showed them respect with a guard of honour and Real reciprocated for Betis' Copa del Rey victory.

Despite the rare sight of the double guard of honour, it's not actually the first time it's been done in Spain, with Barcelona and Sevilla sharing one in 2006, when Sevilla won the Europa League, though the pair did not do the same 10 years later.

Despite having wrapped up the title some weeks before and with a Champions League final on the horizon, Carlo Ancelotti named a strong side for the game, with ...

Betis have finished the campaign on 65 points. Los Blancos will be looking to win their 14th European Cup title. Betis players then repeated the gesture.
