Inaki Pena couldn’t hide his disappointment after seeing his [Barcelona team drop points against Real Betis on Saturday](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2024/12/7/24312981/real-betis-barcelona-la-liga-final-score-match-report-recap-reactions).
Barcelona led the game twice but had to settle for a 2-2 draw at the Benito Villamarin, and Pena says it’s just not good enough.
> “We are gutted after letting two points that we had slip away, especially in a second half in which Betis outplayed us,” he told reporters.
>
> “They put us under a lot of pressure, they didn’t let us play, they hurt us with long balls and we didn’t get the ball out.
>
> “When you’re ahead you can’t let two points slip away, it’s very difficult like that.”
Barca had been hoping to follow up the win against Mallorca with another victory but dropped points yet again after conceding a late equalizer.
The result mean Real Madrid can cut the gap to Barca to just two points if they beat Girona later today.
