Looks like @trs got a fun game, despite the fact that poor Betis were manhandled. Got to see the Joaquin farewell tour. If he plays every game this season, he will become La Liga’s all time leader in appearances (including GKs). Lamine Yamal got in the game, becoming the youngest Barcelona player ever. Bonus points for getting to the Nou Camp before the team leaves for Montjuic for the foreseeable future.
La Liga are doing Real Madrid no favors. Los Blancos had 9 games in April and will have 6 games in 17 days- the first four are La Liga games followed by the Copa del Rey final then a little date with Manchester City. Some of it is European competition, but there are several midweek La Liga games late in the season, and Madrid will have two games a week for all of April and May. They’re not particularly deep, especially up top, but they need to win the Copa and likely the UCL to have a “successful” season while also holding off noisy neighbors Atleti who are playing as well as anyone right now.
