Real Betis shocked Real Madrid in a hard‑fought 1–0 win in the 2026/27 LaLiga matchday 4, with Kylian Mbappé missing a penalty.
Real Madrid needed a miracle in the match, and none of the big names stepped up, including the wonder kid Yan Diomandé, who came on in the 64th minute but could not make any difference.
Madrid could have won comfortably, but almost every chance they created was denied by Real Betis goalkeeper Álvaro Valles, who produced six excellent saves to keep his side in front. Real Madrid also hit the woodwork three times and were left frustrated all night.
