MADRID, 25 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Betis celebrated this Sunday in the streets of Seville and at the Benito Villamarín Stadium the achievement of the Copa del Rey the day before in the final at La Cartuja against Valencia, a party that Joaquín Sánchez took advantage of to announce that he will continue “one more year “.
“I don’t know if I’m going to spoil a plan I have out there, but I’m very sorry. I’m going to continue for another year,” said the eternal Verdiblanco captain at Villamarín. The player himself, the only one in the history of the club with two titles, revealed his future to make the party even bigger for the Betis fan, who entertained his team throughout the afternoon.
The euphoria broke out around 1:00 at night, when Miranda converted the decisive penalty (5-4) that gave Betis the third Copa del Rey, the previous one having been in 2005. The trophy stayed in Seville and this Sunday afternoon he walked through its streets. The team left its stadium around 6:00 p.m. on its way to the Town Hall and also stopped at the cathedral.
After the institutional act, with the offering of the cup to the fans from the balcony, a floral offering was made to the Virgen de los Reyes in the cathedral. The open-top bus returned to Villamarín along the same road packed with thousands of people. The party was the fans’ recognition of their heroes, with coach Manuel Pellegrini at the helm.
The finishing touch to the verdiblanca euphoria was put by Joaquín, whose renewal and future was in the air, with the announcement of continuity, at 40 years old. Another moment of exaltation for the Betis family, which still aspires to the ‘Top 4’, access positions to the Champions League, of LaLiga Santander in the five remaining days of the Championship.
