In contrast, the situation for the senior squad was less favorable, as Real Madrid CF lost crucial points in the La Liga title race following a last-minute equalizer, finishing 1-1 against Real Betis.
As a result of this match, they find themselves eight points adrift of FC Barcelona with only five matches left in the season. To complicate matters, Kylian Mbappé exited the game late due to a hamstring concern, raising further anxiety during this crucial period.
