Isco, 34, rolls back the years — 8.62

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.62 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Pau López keeps Betis in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Antony in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Betis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Pau López falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match29 Aug 2026

Barcelona take the points off Betis

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Cédric Bakambu keeps on missing

Shots: 7, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

In brief

  • Player ratings The one thing Antony could not do
  • Squad Cédric Bakambu wants out of the spotlight
  • Player ratings Álvaro Fidalgo could not find anything
  • The terraces The press cannot get enough of Isco

Match22 Aug 2026

Giovani Lo Celso settles it late for Betis

The 87th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Giovani Lo Celso decided nobody was going anywhere. Levante had no time left to answer.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A brace, and Giovani Lo Celso takes the afternoon — 8.60

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Giovani Lo Celso provided it, and the 8.60 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market24 Aug 2026

AS Roma come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Betis did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Matías Rosales is a Betis player

The fee is $5.1M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Sarmiento drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Betis

Antony was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match22 Aug 2026

Giovani Lo Celso sends Betis past Levante

It finished 3‑2, and it was Giovani Lo Celso’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Betis.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Cédric Bakambu gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Natan in the eights

A performance of 8.73 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Isco

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Betis turn down Real Madrid for Isco

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Betis

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market17 Aug 2026

One of our own: Lucas Carrasco joins the Betis first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lucas Carrasco is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Diego Ferrer joins the Betis first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Diego Ferrer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market17 Aug 2026

Jan Solís steps up from the Betis academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jan Solís has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

No investment in the facilities at Betis

Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Isco has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Isco keeps the shirt for now, at Betis's convenience rather than his own.

In brief

  • Squad A season on the outside for Luan Polli
  • The terraces Everybody has an opinion about Luan Polli

Betis say no — this time

The offer from Getafe for Cédric Bakambu was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Florián Monzón would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Florián Monzón is living that version at Betis, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Isco signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Isco and Betis agree another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Betis count the cost of losing Cucho Hernández

64 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market10 Aug 2026

Betis may not be able to give Valentín Gómez what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Valentín Gómez wants continental football; whether Betis can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
