Online broadcast of the match Betis – Barcelona live in text format
Today, January 12, at 21:00 Kyiv time, in the semifinal match of the Spanish Super Cup Betis and Barcelona. The match will take place in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), at the King Fahd International Stadium.
Good evening! The Sport Arena welcomes you to an online match for the Spanish Super Cup. Betis vs Barcelona! Broadcast hosted by Alexander Zvirk.
The current owner of the Copa del Rey, who has never owned the Super Cup in history, is against the record holder for the number of victories in this tournament.
Betis — Barcelona: layouts
The club from Seville, to put it mildly, is not favored with titles and trophies. The Verdiblancos won the Spanish Championship 88 years ago. And the Cup of the country, which the team won last year under the management of the highly experienced Manuel Pellegrini, was only the third in history for Betis. For the Green-Whites, this is the second attempt to compete for the Super Bowl. In 2005, they were painfully beaten just the same by Barca – 0:3.
Barcelona is now in the process of a global restructuring. Mind-boggling executive shake-ups, a sly detour around billions of dollars in debt and a purported bankruptcy are a little help to stability in results. However, with Xavi, the game is getting better. The championship already has a clear first place. True, in the Champions League there was a second failure in a row.
What is important: the current Barça is extremely hungry for trophies. In three and a half years, More Than a Club won nothing but the 2021 Cup. Of course, Supercopa is one of the easiest trophies. It is necessary “only” to win twice.
Betis vs Barcelona: snapshots
Betis, currently in fourth place in the Example (higher than Atlético!), is stable in terms of personnel. In the summer, we managed to keep the leaders of the attack – the creative Fekira and scorer Borhu. Moreover: a once-cool sniper was taken to their company Williana Jose. Was released on free bread Bartracame instead Luis Felipe from Lazio, which is not so important with a progressive Gonzalez.
True, already in the winter it was sold to Aston Villa lateral Moreno – and this is a serious loss. It’s good that the infirmary is empty.
By the second half of autumn, Barça, which seemed to have shaken the roster so well before the season, approached against the backdrop of huge personnel problems. The infirmary was overcrowded (defenders suffered especially often from injuries) – because of this, it is likely that the Blue Garnet missed some points in the championship and – most importantly – in the Champions League.
However, now everyone is healthy, and the main rumors concern the transfer market. Despite financial constraints, Xavi and Laporta do not stop trying to strengthen the roster. So, we are actively looking for a right-back and someone to attack. There is an option with Aubameyangwho himself wants to return – and a place for him can be vacated at the expense of Depaywho is traded by Atlético to replace Felix.
Arbitration for Betis vs Barcelona
The head of the refereeing team is highly experienced (46 years old) Carlos del Cerro Grande from Madrid. This season, he has refereed 17 matches at the club level, in which he presented 79 yellow and 5 red cards, and forced 6 penalty kicks.
Nobody del Cerro Grande has judged more often in his career than Barcelona – 40 times. The result – 33 wins with three defeats. Betis has more modest results with this referee: 14 wins in 30 matches.
This is interesting: it was with the participation of del Cerro Grande that Barcelona won its last (and 13th in total) Supercup of the country so far. In 2018, near Seville.
Pre-match quotes
Barcelona’s victory is taken as 1.44. Betis non-losing (double chance 1X) can be taken for 3.00. Total over (3.0) – offer for 2.10.

Before 1.17 in Live mode, the odds for Barcelona’s victory in regular time have fallen. You can risk not losing Betis for 4.90. You can bet on the fact that the team from Sevilla will score 2.33.
The time was actually even. Betis has created exactly no less. Probably, until the class decides. And some luck. But it’s too early to bury the underdog. Everything ahead!
Break! The favorite is ahead thanks to Lewandowski’s goal.
And here is the answer! Rodri and Enrique beat in one attack. Ter Stegen pulled everything!
And again, a calm, low-momentary game. Betis does not include speed. Most likely, some kind of restructuring from the Pellegrini team should be expected after the break.
And yet there is a goal for Barcelona! Dembele passed the opponent in a quick attack, shifted, translated. Lewandowski scored on the second attempt – Felipe took the first shot, but the rebound was in favor of Robert. 0:1!!!
Betis have a new chance! A cross from the right, and Rodri and Borja miraculously did not get to the ball. Roberto made it.
Fekir filed from the corner – Pesselya hit the target, Ter Stegen dragged !!!
A rare attack by Beris, and immediately with a blow. Canales, away. Ricochet, corner.
Betis is the only team other than Espanyol to have competed in the Spanish Super Cup without ever winning it.
But it doesn’t score! Offside! And not with Pedri, but with Rafinha.
Whoa-Go! Barcelona scores a slightly curious goal? Rafinha unscrewed from the corner of the penalty area. Pedri jumped out from behind the defenders, clumsily closed – the ball from Bravo jumped into the goal …
O! Controversial moment. Kunde’s wild mistake, Fekir threw past the goalkeeper, but Araujo, with the risk of removal, knocked the ball out from under the Frenchman.
A little panic in front of Ter Stegen’s gate. But the blow never came.
And again, Dembele’s breakthrough, passing to the free Lewandowski … The forward simply did not catch the ball on his leg.
Dembele went well, gave Lewandowski into the center of the penalty area … And again, the Pole’s heel did not play the way it should.
Lewandowski, after a witty attack and pass from the right, tried to hit with his heel. Failed.
39 year old Bravo (ex-goalkeeper of Barcelona, if anyone has forgotten) needs help.
Rafinhaif anything, plays on the right. Dembele – on the left.
Barça attacks, pumps… But so far, something is wrong with the last pass.
Rafinha either shot or hit. Bravo calmly took.
The chief referee for the VAR is Nacho Iglesias Villanueva. This might be important.
Started!!!
Xaviin turn, sits down on the bench Christensen, Balde, Busquets and Fati based on the match against Atlético. The depth of the composition was not visually affected. Ferran Torressuspended in the championship for two games (lightly off), is in the reserve.
Pellegrini makes four changes at once after the match of the last round of Examples. In defense Felipe changes Gonzaleza Miranda – left the team Moreno. Out in midfield Rodriguez and Sanchez instead of Guardado and Carvalho.
Lineups!
Betis (4-2-3-1): Bravo – Ruibal, Pessella, Luis Felipe, Miranda – Rodriguez, Canales – Luis Enrique, Fekir, Rodri Sanchez – Borja Iglesias
Barcelona (4-3-3): Ter Stegen – S. Roberto, Kunda, Araujo, J. Alba – Gavi, F. de Jong, Pedri – Rafinha, Lewandowski, Dembele
