Barcelona faced Real Betis in a disappointing 1-1 draw, where they initially led through Gavi's early goal. However, a defensive lapse allowed Betis to equalize through Natan soon after. Barcelona struggled to create opportunities, posting an expected goals tally of only 1.3. Centre-back Pau Cubarsi criticized the team's lack of determination, emphasizing they didn't give their best effort. He noted the slow pace of the game, which disappointed fans, and rejected excuses related to their congested schedule, insisting they must work harder for success.
"You could see on the pitch that we didn't give 100%, and you can't win like that. We lacked the desire to finish the game off from the start."
"The pace of the game was slow, and I'll tell you, it was even boring for the fans."
"We knew we were coming into the match with a heavy load and few days' rest, but that's no excuse if we want to win as many titles."
