The team's lack of finishing ability was evident, with even their star forwards failing to capitalize on multiple chances. Jose Mourinho managed to secure a last-gasp win against Espanyol earlier in the season, but this defeat highlighted the team's vulnerability on the road.\n\nThe controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappe's penalty further emphasized Real Madrid's struggles. The missed penalty, awarded in stoppage time, could have salvaged a point for Madrid had it been awarded. The controversy surrounding Mbappe's penalty highlights the team's inability to convert seemingly clear chances, even when the odds are heavily in their favor.\n\nAlvaro Valles emerged as Real Betis' hero, delivering a stellar performance in goal. The Real Betis goalkeeper made a staggering six crucial saves, all from inside the box, preventing Real Madrid from capitalizing on their numerous attacking opportunities.
