Barça wasn't able to take advantage of Madrid's defeat and couldn't get past a draw at Montjuïc against Betis. After this result, many Real fans celebrated what had happened hours after their team lost. No one could believe it, least of all Jota Jordi, who, using his X account, sent a clear message after extending the lead at the top of LaLiga.
Jota Jordi knocks out Madrid
After the draw and seeing their lead over Madrid increase to four points, Jota Jordi didn't hesitate to be blunt. Speaking on X, he clearly stated: "Just wait until those celebrating the draw from Madrid realize that we gained 1 more point this round".
The reality is this, no matter that Barça drew, the one who lost earlier was Madrid. With eight rounds left in LaLiga, the gap between the first and second place has increased to four points. Considering the goal average after the decisive victory in the first Clásico, we could say it's up to five points.
This means that FC Barcelona can afford a slip in the next eight matches. Even then, Real Madrid wouldn't be able to take the lead. Adding to this, there's a Clásico just around the corner at Montjuïc, where a large part of LaLiga could be decided.
"Nothing to reproach"
Reviewing the draw between Barça and Betis, Jota Jordi made it clear that there's nothing to say to the culer footballers. They tried to play the best match with the fatigue they've been accumulating, and they couldn't overcome a Betis that defended very well.
"Nothing to reproach these players and their work against a Betis that defended wonderfully... 1 more point above the second place", pointed out Jota Jordi. To which he added: "Now on to the Champions!".
Indeed, Barça's schedule is truly daunting and doesn't allow for 'crying' over a bad result. This doesn't stop, and now is when everything is decided. LaLiga, Champions League, and the Copa del Rey are at stake.
There's no room for failure, and Barcelona fans are more united than ever in a campaign that could once again be historic.
