Real Madrid’s already fragile LaLiga title challenge suffered another setback as Héctor Bellerín struck deep into stoppage time to earn Real Betis a 1–1 draw.
The visitors had taken the lead early through Vinícius Júnior, who converted after a powerful effort from Federico Valverde was parried into his path.
Real Madrid looked in control for much of the first half but failed to extend their advantage.
Despite creating several chances, Madrid were wasteful in front of goal, with Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé both unable to capitalize.
Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin kept them ahead with a series of key saves as Betis gradually grew into the contest.
The home side increased pressure in the second half, exposing defensive lapses and forcing Madrid onto the back foot.
The decisive moment came in the 93rd minute when a defensive error allowed Betis to pounce, and Bellerín fired home a low shot through a crowded box to equalise.
The result leaves Madrid trailing league leaders Barcelona by eight points, with their rivals holding a game in hand.
With only a handful of matches remaining, Madrid now face an uphill battle to keep their fading title hopes alive.
