Squad

A fracture rules Marc Roca out for 43 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Betis will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Ander Astralaga decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Betis through in the cup

A 2‑2 win over Andorra, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Betis

A 0‑4 beating by Barcelona was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

5 matches without a win for Betis

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Betis are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Betis

Troy Parrott 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.

Market

Konrad De la Fuente is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Betis is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Words at Betis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aimar 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.

Market

Santiago Gauna wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

In brief

  • Boardroom Nobody left the Betis dressing room in a hurry
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Noham Diop
  • Player ratings Ignacio Núñez turns it into his own net

Squad

A fracture rules Facundo Bernal out for 53 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Betis will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Betis turn down Málaga for Facundo Bernal

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

Match

Whatever happens, Betis do not lose

10 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Cucho Hernández

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Betis

Troy Parrott 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.

Market

The Almería deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Lévi Ntumba reports back to Betis with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Words at Betis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Antony 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.

Squad

When it matters, Antony plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Player ratings

Michael Forbes takes the honours

Marked 7.74 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Betis had the best player on the pitch.
