No mercy from Betis
Valencia will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Betis were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.
Match10 Apr 2027
Betis cannot stop winning
7 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.
Player ratings12 Apr 2027
Troy Parrott scores twice — 8.95
Two goals and a mark of 8.95 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Cucho Hernández asks to leave Betis
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Facundo Bernal: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Betis have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

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.

Another one collected away from home
4 on the bounce on the road for Betis. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Words at Betis training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Álvaro Valles is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

One of our own: Alejandro Vidal joins the Betis first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alejandro Vidal is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief

- Player ratings A defender's afternoon for Fran García
