MADRID -- Real Madrid dropped two vital points in the race for the La Liga title when they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Betis on Saturday night.

Madrid - whose President Florentino Perez was the prime moved behind the creation of the Super League project - produced a flat display in a game of relatively few chances against a side looking to qualify for the Europa League next season, with Claudio Bravo tipping Rodrygo's cross-cum-shot onto the woodwork.

Bravo also saved from Luka Modric and Karim Benzema, while at the other end, Thibaut Courtois produced a fine stop to deny Betis forward, Borja Iglesias.
