The tie that Betis reaped against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League he had a direct responsibility: Claudio Bravo. The Chilean saved the point that already looks in the Betic locker skillfully solving a heads up at minute 94 when the Germans were almost celebrating the goal. It was not his only intervention of merit in a game in which he started again, something that had not happened for a month, when Betis received Getafe on the seventh day of the championship.
AND the reason why Claudio Bravo it took all this time without playing it is none other than the strange rotation that Manuel Pilgrims is doing in the goal with him and with Rui Silva. The Betic coach has not distributed a competition for each goalkeeper, but rather he is using them in the league and in Europe indistinctly. Bravo has played five games, three in the League and two in the Europa League, while Rui Silva has six in the domestic championship and one in Europe.
Bravo, What little he could do in Leverkusen’s goal after being deflected by his teammate William Carvalho, has only left its clean sheet in one of the five games accumulated. But this data does not question a performance that stands on its own with performances like last Thursday.
