The Real Madrid was hung 0-0 at Betis Sevilla on Sunday in La Liga Matchday 24, and is now nine points behind FC Barcelona, leaders on 62 points after their 1-0 victory against Valencia earlier at Camp Nou.
Karim Benzema thought he opened the scoring in the 12th minute, but his direct free kick was deflected by Antonio Rüdiger’s hand into the wall, and the referee canceled the goal with the help of the video.
The encounter was then punctuated by numerous chances on both sides, and it took an imperial Thibaut Courtois to keep Real afloat, and avoid a fourth defeat for Madrid in La Liga this season.
