Real Madrid stumbled in the three-way race for the La Liga title as Isco guided Real Betis to a 2-1 comeback win over the defending champions on Saturday.
The former Madrid player delivered a corner kick that was headed in by fellow midfielder Johnny Cardoso in the 34th minute, canceling out Brahim Díaz’s opener for Madrid.
Isco then put Betis ahead from the penalty spot in the 54th minute after he passed to Jesús Rodríguez and the Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger knocked the Betis forward down in the area.
A late Philip Billing goal for Napoli rescued a deserved 1-1 draw at home to Inter, the Serie A leaders, leaving the title rivals separated by a point.
