The FC Barcelona and Espanyol tied at two goals in the Barcelona derby, a point that allows the azulgrana to regain 4th place, while Betis consolidates itself on the podium after beating bottom side Levante 4-2.
Espanyol (13th) were very close to winning the three points, as Sergi Darder (40) and Raúl de Tomás (64) came from behind Pedri’s initial goal (2).
But Xavi Hernández’s team, in discount time and with both teams playing with 10 due to the simultaneous expulsion of Gerard Piqué and Nico Melamed (90 + 2), rescued a point with a header from the Dutchman Luuk de Jong (90 + 6) .
With this point, Barcelona regains fourth place to the detriment of Atlético de Madrid, although both teams have the same points (39).
The two are 4 points behind Betis, who consolidated their place on the podium thanks to another great performance by the team led by Chilean Manuel Pellegrini. (D)
