Real Madrid have already won the league, but this game was important for the Spanish champions as it was the last league match for them under their legendary coach Josep Guardiola.
Barcelona played in their favourite 4-3-3 formation, but Guardiola rested a few players because he has to play them in the final of the Copa del Rey, which will be Guardiola’s last competitive game as Barcelona coach.
The home side’s coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 Mel, fielded a 4-4-1-1 formation. Barcelona were made to work a lot as the home team took the game to the Spanish giants.
Casto featured in between the two sticks and he was aided by four defenders. Dorado, and Paulao played in the full-back roles while Chica and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nacho-c27212 played in the centre-back roles.
The centre of the pitch was occupied by Benat and Jefferson. Both these players featured right in the centre of the pitch and were aided by two wingers. Jose Canas featured on the right flank while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 Pereira played on the left wing.
The front two consisted of Ruben http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Castro-c8590 and Pozuelo. Pozuelo was the one who played as a poacher while Ruben Castro featured right behind him as a second striker.
On the other hand, Josep Guardiola played his favourite 4-3-3 against Betis, and rested a few key players which are to feature in the final of the Copa del Rey.
Victor Valdes played in between the two sticks and he was aided by four defenders. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 played in the centre-back roles.
The three-man midfield consisted of one experienced player, Xavi Hernandez. Seydou Keita filled the void left by Andres Iniesta while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 played in his favourite holding midfield position.
The recently out-of-injury midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rodriguez was the player who played on the right wing. Pedro has not been appearing for Barcelona as much as he did last season, but he still managed to start the game against Betis.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 featured in his favourite ‘false 9’ role and often fell back into the midfield to aid the midfielders and went forward to aid in the attack.
