Betis beat Feyenoord for third Champions League win

Real Betis secured a third consecutive Champions League win by beating Feyenoord 1-0 on Wednesday at the Estadio de La Cartuja, according to Europa Press. The Seville club, back in the competition, made the difference in the second half thanks to a penalty converted by Isco, as reported by El Español.

A historic perfect record

With this success, Betis boast a perfect nine points after three matchdays. According to ElDesmarque, 100% of teams that have achieved such a flawless run have subsequently qualified for the knockout rounds. The Andalusian club now aims to reach the Top 8, as Mundo Deportivo highlighted before the match.

Pellegrini sets a goal

Coach Manuel Pellegrini acknowledged, in comments reported by ElDesmarque, having taken "un paso de gigante" (a giant step), while targeting "lo más arriba posible" (as high as possible). The Chilean manager is pushing his team not to rest on their laurels.

Significant financial rewards

This victory also brings Betis more than €6 million in prize money, according to ElDesmarque. The club could break its revenue record if it continues its run in the Champions League.

Betis had already beaten Feyenoord last year in the Europa League, Europa Press recalls. The next European fixture for the Béticos was not specified in the sources consulted.
