FC Barcelona suffered their first defeat in their third game under the direction of their new coach Xavi.
The club lost their home game against Real Betis Sevilla on Saturday in the Spanish football championship with 0: 1 (0: 0) and screwed up the dress rehearsal for the final group game in the Champions League on Wednesday at FC Bayern Munich.
Juanmi (79th) completed a counterattack by the guests with the decisive goal.
Barcelona around the German national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen still has 23 points on the account and is miles away from the top ranks.
The gap to record champions and league leaders Real Madrid, who competes in the evening at Real Sociedad from San Sebastian, is already 13 points.
Betis consolidated fifth.
