Matches of the day in Spain: "Atletico" is currently in first place...

This article will provide you with information about the main events that took place in Spanish football on Saturday evening, the goals in the matches and the situation in the tournament table.

"Betis" - "Real" - 2:1
Goals: Cardozo 34, Isco 54 pen – Braim Diaz 10.
"Betis": Adrian, Rodriguez, Lorente, Bartra, Sabali (Bakambu, 81), Altimira (Nathan, 90), Cardozo, Rodriguez (Chimi Avila, 71), Isco, Antoni, Hernandez (Ruibal, 81), Waites, Gonzalez, Nathan, Perro, Ruibal, Fornals, Flores, Chimi Avila, Bakambu
"Real": Courtois, Mendy (Fran Garcia, 85), Alaba (Kamawinga, 59), Rüdiger, Vasquez, Braim Diaz (Güler, 59), Tchuameni, Modric, Vinicius Junior, Mbappe (Andric, 75), Rodrigo, Lunin, Gonzalez, Fran Garcia, Asensio, Camavinga, Guler, Andres, Endric

Real Madrid deservedly lost at Betis. The most painful thing for the reigning champions was that Isco played a decisive role in this. And he did not hide his feelings.

The game for the Andalusians began with a quick goal. Mbappe scored the decisive goal after a pass from Brahim Diaz Mendy in the attack. Then Isco took the stage. After his cross from a corner, Cardoso equalized, and in the second half, after a foul by Rudiger inside the penalty area, the former Madrid player scored the winning goal from the penalty spot. Thus, Pellegrini managed to defeat Real Madrid in La Liga at the tenth attempt, while Carlo Ancelotti lost to Betis for the first time. But these are nothing compared to the fact that Barcelona can take the lead by winning today's match.

"Atletico" - "Atletico" - 1:0
Goal: Julián Alvarez 66.
Atlético: Oblak, Galan, Langle, Le Norman, Molina, Lino (Gallagher, 59), Barrios (Jimenez, 69), De Paul, Simeone (Lorente, 58), Serlot (Alvarez, 59), Griezmann (Correa, 63)
"Athletic": Unai Simon, Berchiche, Yeray Alvarez, Vivian, Gorosabel, Jauregisar (Vesga, 81), Ruiz de Galarreta (Prados, 64), Williams, Unai Gomes (Guruseta, 63), Williams, Berenger (Sannadi, 77).

Of course, Barca will have to catch up with Atletico, who are still on top. The "Matraschilar" had a large bench, and Julián Álvarez, who was rested before the Champions League match, came on in the second half and did his usual job. His goal was the sixteenth for Diego Simeone's wildcards. The Argentine coach should also be grateful to the goalposts and crossbar at the "Metropolitan". They saved the Madrid team twice. Now Barcelona will make a comeback today.
