What a close game. Great passion from Betis, they were bent on getting more than 1 point today, and we only just managed to win. I hope Messi, Cesc, Cuenca and even Iniesta can summon up more magic in the next games, because this wasn't a good game of theirs. And yes, I know Messi scored twice, but he still wasn't good for his standards

The 71' red card game barca the advantage over betis.... Good game from them though

Alexis Sanchez MOTM

I think even with out the red card Barca would have won the game, but one think is clear real madrid needs to draw ore loose one game for barca to be on top knowing in front who is winning the second el clasico and its probably not hard to guess

They looked very sluggish, really hope there not dealing with tiredness, whatever it is, they need to get stuck in from the start, because teams are not gonna' make it easy for the big 2 anymore. But we got the win, so keep it up barca. Your not out of it yet

Thanks to Xavi's brilliance and our new phenomenon, Alexis Sánchez, we managed to get a win, but the rest was quite poor really

And one more think everybody expects barca to demolish every team it faces, but there are very quality teams like betis that can surprise, but one think its surprising for me that some people think that barca was lucky in this game. I didn't saw any luck in the penetration of Messi and the fault caused by betis player who deserved the second yellow card.
One thing I can say is how lucky real madrid was yesterday winning even though they didn't deserve it

Mr. Referee on barca's side again

Very nice playing

Ah some madrid fans act like there s**t don't smell. Anytime a player gets sent of against barca, the referee has helped us, and it's all a fix, but it has nothing to with the fact that the player sent of committed 2 fouls and got 2 cards, pathetic. Take a look at the penalty we where robbed of in this game and against espanyol. See ye Wednesday Madrid, Visca Barca !

IMO sanchez is the buy of the season for Barca alongside Fabregas...

Credit to real betis for putting up a good fight.... Told you so that la liga is not easy...

We need some goof highlights

First of all we played terrible. Second these refs have been anti Barca this whole season. What does it take to get a penalty? Every time someone from our team gets taken out clearly or the other team handballs it we see a yellow card for absolutely no reason. They should investigate Madrid paying off these refs to go against Barca since they're so rich and have close ties to the king...
