Not this year&#8230; This is my immediate reaction. Coming up: Low player ratings, awkward interviews and a podcast with myself and Kiyan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A handful of unexciting affairs, Cl\u00e1sico aside, remained until a dire season was done &#8211; and a trip to Real Betis represented a fresh opportunity for embarrassment. After midweek talk regarding youth players, it was interesting to see Thiago Pitarch slot straight back into the line-up out of nowhere. Make of that what you will. The rest of the line-up was as expected &#8211; with UEFA Youth League hero Javier Navarro amongst a youthful bench. \u00c1lvaro Fidalgo, Isco and Diego Llorente were present for the home side. Fede Valverde was captain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is one of the rare one-paragraph games, after a dry first half that saw Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior score from a rebound, and Andriy Lunin save the half with three great saves late on. Real Betis had a few openings in the second half, and despite the lack of competitiveness, managed to find that leveller in added time through H\u00e9ctor Beller\u00edn. Full-time, 1-1 &#8211; and one step closer to the season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Betis 1-1 Real Madrid (Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior).
