Real Betis are enjoying a season in the fast lane and are now even dreaming of the Champions League. After the 2:1 derby win, Isco, who once again excelled, dared to make an unusual advance
Betis have won six of their last seven competitive matches, with Sunday’s 2:1 win over Sevilla FC in the always explosive city derby the cherry on the cake. The green and white part of the Andalusian metropolis is currently upside down – and is rightly dreaming of the top flight. Betis are level on points with fifth-placed Villarreal in sixth place in La Liga, while fourth-placed Bilbao are “only” six points away
Isco, who was once again voted “Man of the Match” by an overwhelming majority afterwards, set up the decisive third goal of the evening. “We’ve allowed ourselves to dream of everything we deserve. We are level with Villarreal for a place in the Champions League.
The long-serving Real professional raved about the “most special game” ever. The “vibrations” that this derby transmits to the pitch.
Isco is no less effusive when it comes to Antony. The Manchester United loanee has been enchanting all Beticos since the winter: “We have to start a crowdfunding campaign so that Antony stays for at least another year,” Isco explained on Sunday, while the loudly laughing Brazilian stood right next to him.
