Héctor Bellerín delivered a stunning late equalizer, securing a 1-1 draw for Real Betis against Real Madrid on Friday, further jeopardizing the visitors' title aspirations. After Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring for Madrid in the 17th minute, Betis fought back, with their goalkeeper Álvaro Valles making crucial saves to keep the match competitive.

Despite several missed opportunities from Madrid, including a disallowed goal by Kylian Mbappé, Betis capitalized in stoppage time. A mistake by Ferland Mendy allowed Bellerín to find the net through a crowded box, marking a significant moment for the home side. Bellerín remarked, "I think we were in control for most of the match and deserved more than just a point."

Meanwhile, in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig triumphed over Union Berlin with a 3-1 scoreline, marking coach Marie-Louise Eta's second consecutive defeat. Goals from Max Finkgräfe, Romulo, and Ridle Baku propelled Leipzig to their fifth straight win, although the match was marred by allegations of sexism directed at Eta on social media.

In Ligue 1, Lens staged a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 against Brest, yet still found themselves trailing Paris Saint-Germain in the title race. Substitute Florian Thauvin spearheaded the fightback, with Allan Saint-Maximin netting a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time.

Finally, Napoli cruised to a 4-0 victory over Cremonese, keeping pressure on Inter Milan in Serie A. Scott McTominay opened the scoring early, and the team built on their lead with an own goal and two additional strikes, leaving Cremonese in relegation peril.
