Barca not more unsafe after PSG triumph, says Zidane

Los Blancos beat the spirited Betis with 2-1 in close encounter, reports Independent. Real Madrid‘s response to this problem has been strengthening the defensive line and relying on classic counter-attacks more than ever in this season.

The Costa Rican goalkeeper made a huge mistake on Sunday against Betis and he listened how the Real Madrid supporters booed him during the game. The match will kick-off at 3:45 PM ET.

This victory helps Real Madrid maintain their status as firm favorites to win the La Liga title, despite a visible dip in their performances levels in recent weeks.

Fellow Royal club Real Betis are now in 14th place.

The Madrid captain had scored a vital goal in the Napoli win as well and the list of “crunch” goals he has scored seems to be getting lengthier by the minute. Their 2-0 win away at La Real could book their 2017-18 ticket to Europe.

Navas made amends with an incredible save two minutes into second-half injury time to secure Madrid the victory and a two-point lead over Barcelona, whose 19-game unbeaten streak in the league ended in La Coruna. We’re happy with the result and we must congratulate the players because it wasn’t easy. Even coach Zinedine Zidane, 44, admitted that his team didn’t play their best during this game. A superb passage of play saw Dries Mertens blast the ball past Keylor Navas to reduce the deficit to one goal.

The Costa Rica worldwide said in the Bernabeu mixed zone: “I stopped the ball, and when I went to gather it my position was not the best”.

“We’re going to do all we can at home to win every game and not drop points”. Often we defend well, cover spaces, people come across. “There are moments when things do not go well, and others times they do”.
