The FC Barcelona sinned of innocence and weakness during the first minutes in the Benito Villamarín, and the Real Betis took advantage for advance in the marker thanks to a penalti

Beginning by the eighth of Champions League against the Napoli, whose gone will contest in Saint Paolo to finals of this same month of February.
Lenglet, in case it was little, was expelled in the Betis-Barça and will not be able to be next Saturday in front of the Getafe in the Camp Nou. We will see if, for then, Quique Setién already can have Gerard Hammered that it could not finish the party of Glass of the King in front of the Athletic in Saint Mamés.
