Video: In Copa del Rey, Real Betis ends Barcelona's unbeaten streak at 28
Second-tier Real Betis ended Barcelona's 28-match unbeaten streak with a 3-1 home victory, but Barca advanced to the Copa del Rey semifinals on a 6-3 aggregate. Remember the American midfielder who played for Betis in the mid-1990s? Tab Ramos.

Barcelona finally drops a game, and it doesn't matter. They even lose better than everybody else.

We'd see that sort of upset in the Open Cup here in the US if we had true "first division" teams.
