The high point of the day for Barcelona’s fans came before kickoff, when Barcelona player Alexia Putellas presented to the 65,000-plus fans her Ballón d’Or for the world’s best women’s player.
Otherwise, it was more frustration.
Juanmi Jiménez finished off a well-orchestrated counterattack to take Betis’ winner with 11 minutes to play.
Barcelona had won twice and drawn once since Xavi replaced Ronald Koeman.
Betis’ goal came just when Barcelona was playing at its best after Ousmane Dembelé went on as a substitute for the final half hour.
Three times Dembelé shot just by the post before Betis caught Barcelona on a three-versus-two breakaway.
Sergio Canales coolly drew in Barcelona’s last two defenders and passed for Cristian Tello, who fed the now unmarked Juanmi to slot the ball past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
“We have to stop those counterattacks,” Xavi said. “We had practiced just that, about when you have to make a tactical foul.”
Barcelona lost teen talent Gavi Páez in the first half following the powerful impact of a ball to his head. The club said Gavi was released from hospital after an examination.
