Barcelona’s defence the only disappointment in Betis win

As ever, a Barca v Betis fixture provided the usual amount of entertainment, and it became a game you couldn’t take your eyes off very quickly into proceedings.

On another day, Antoine Griezmann might’ve had a first half hat-trick, and his lack of confidence was evident with a poorly taken penalty.

After Ousmane Dembele had done himself the power of good with a rocket, a late first-half equaliser once again laid bare the problems that Ronald Koeman has with his defence.

It’s worth asking the question as to why Sergino Dest, clearly an upgrade on Sergi Roberto in the right-back slot, was left out against the Andalusians.
