🟥 Real Betis down to 10 men after headbutt on Lamine Yamal

Real Betis was forced to play with 10 men for the majority of their match against Barcelona on Saturday, following a headbutt incident involving Lamine Yamal. The drama unfolded during the second half, as Hansi Flick's team led 2-1 before three goals were scored immediately after the restart. The incident that led to Real Betis' reduced squad size occurred when Facundo Bernal argued with Fermín López, who was on the ground and reportedly injured.

The altercation escalated when Yamal intervened, shoving Bernal before making contact with the back of his head, resulting in a direct red card for the Real Betis defender. Yamal himself received a yellow card for his involvement in the incident.
