Player ratings:

Starting XI:

Andriy Lunin: 8/10

Given a start ahead of Kepa. The Ukrainian was brilliant once again but could do nothing to stop Ruibal’s wonder strike. Real Madrid escaped with a draw in large thanks to him.

Lucas Vazquez: 6/10

Replaced the injured Carvajal. The Galician was often the weak link in Real Madrid’s back four.

Antonio Rüdiger: 7.5/10

Another excellent performance from the German who made a brilliant block to deny Betis in the first half. Rock solid throughout.

David Alaba: 7/10

Barely tested throughout the ninety minutes. The Austrian didn’t do much wrong.

Ferland Mendy: 7/10

Rodrygo Goes: 7/10

A good performance from the Brazilian who had everything except the final touch.

Brahim Diaz: 7.5/10

Substitutions:

Dani Ceballos: 6/10 – Came on to replace Luka Modric. The Spaniard was greeted with jeers on his return to the Benito Villamarin.

Joselu: N/A – Came on to replace Brahim Diaz with 10 minutes to go.

Nacho Fernandez: N/A – Came on to replace Lucas Vazquez late on.

Nico Paz: N/A – Came on to replace Toni Kroos late on.
