To add three by three you have to win games and to win them and above all connect with the fans, the more goals the better. Real Betis is a clear example of the above. The only team that at this stage of the season is a similar level of success against Real Madrid’s rival goal (45 goals vs. 37).
The skill at the Benito Villamarín stadium is striking. In the history of Manuel Pellegrini’s troops in front of his fans, he has scored 23 goals in 11 games, a record only bettered by Villarreal (26 in the same number of games).
Betis’ home records in the Europa League are not bad either. Four goals against Celtic and two against Ferencvaros, without forgetting the goal scored against Bayer Leverkusen. Seven goals in three games. A figure that is not bad at all. Even in the Copa del Rey, Real Betis has found the goal with some ease. Against the eternal rival, two goals in 90 minutes. With that devastating capacity, it is logical to sign a season. Juanmi, with 12 league goals, Borja Iglesias, ten already this course… Both are the main gunners of a Real Betis that this campaign puts fear on Avenida de La Palmera.
