End of the season for the League and Cup champions in Chamartín in a game that Real Madrid dominated at times, but in which Betis was also able to win.
Ancelotti bet from the start on an eleven that he could line up in Paris against Liverpool, betting on Rodrygo in a 4-3-3, instead of Valverde in midfield. And face a Betis with a very worthy lineup loaded with headlines. A game of champions, the League and the Cup, which offered entertaining moments, but in which it was clear that neither of them had anything at stake.
The first part had few occasions, most of them in deployment of each other. Benzema and Juanmi were the spearhead of the two teams. Rui Silva had more work than Courtois, but the departures of Fekir and Canales generated uncertainty in the stands of a Bernabéu in which many green and white shirts were seen.

The break was scored goalless and Carletto opted to move his team up a gear by putting Valverde and Camavinga in for Kroos and a Casemiro who had a magnificent chance. Madrid gained prominence with the changes and stepped on more area. Benzema had a couple of clear chances, but the Verdiblanco goalkeeper was lucky. The tie seemed to be worth Betis and Madrid lacked something of a fang.
From the time of the game the changes began and the game definitely fell apart. Only Vinicius was still activated to give the match some spice. Benzema missed a clear chance in the 83rd, to a pass from the Brazilian. Five minutes later, Joaquín forgave his life against the whites. They were the two clearest occasions in a game in which the most newsworthy thing was the corridor they made for each other at the start as current League and Cup champions in this season that is ending. Now only the Champions League final in Paris remains… And wait to see what Mbappé says.
