La Champions, betic obsession

Betis parks its Copa del Rey title to focus its sights on a final stretch of the League that can still give it new joys. This is what the Verdiblanco team believes, which is obsessed with the possibility of finding the way to the Champions League. Five days remain on the scene and in them Manuel Pellegrini’s team needs to cut four points with respect to Atlético de Madrid or six with Sevilla or Barcelona. The coach himself stressed that goal during the celebration of the cup title and the players cling to that challenge to complete a historic season in Heliopolis.

For the club, a ticket to the top continental competition means air in its economic coffers and a boost in order to formulate a commitment to growth in the 2022-2023 campaign. With the passport to the Europa League already guaranteed, in Heliopolis there is a dream on the table and the most notable growth path possible. Pellegrini still clings to that card, knowing that next summer’s planning will once again have many brakes in terms of signings and that he will be forced to dispense with one of his figures with almost total certainty.

The team, which returned to work yesterday with all its available players on stage, looks forward to its matchup next Monday against Getafe as the first final of the five remaining in this closure. After that, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Real Madrid and Granada will be their enemies to conquer that challenge. The clash against the azulgrana team, present in that fight for heights, could be key in the Verdiblanco team’s desire to revolutionize that Champions area.
