Match21 Aug 2027
Nowhere to hide for Betis
0‑4 against Barcelona, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Natan puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Betis, and it is not being withdrawn.

Betis make their move for Karim Konaté
$15.1M on the table at Basel. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

7 saves: Álvaro Valles was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Celta tell Betis: Yoel Lago is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Valentín Gómez 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.
