In the early morning of May 29, the European League final started and Betis challenged Chelsea. With a 1-0 lead, Betis suffered a tragic reversal of 4 goals. In the end, Betis lost the championship 1-4. After the game, many people from this La Liga club burst into tears on the spot.

Betis was founded in 1907 and has a history of 118 years. In team history, Betis has never had the opportunity to fight in the European game. As long as you can beat Chelsea, Betis can make history. In the 9th minute of the first half, Betis grabbed the opponent's mistake in the defense and scored.

In the first half, Betis led 1-0. In the second half, Betis players were eager to defend the advantage of one goal. However, Chelsea players exploded in full swing, scoring 4 goals one after another, completing a 4-1 reversal drama. In the end, Betis missed the championship and missed the first European championship in team history. After the game ended, Betis' veteran Isco had tears in his eyes, and the round god Anthony was on the ground and cried into tears. They could not accept such a cruel result for a while. In history, Betis has played against Spain's teams in total 9 times, with 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses, and is at an absolute disadvantage.

Betis's coach is 71-year-old "Chilean engineer" Pellegrini. It is worth mentioning that at 71 years old and 254 days old, he also became the oldest coach in the history of the European finals. Unfortunately, he failed to lead the team to win the championship. When the camera was given to the old handsome, his expression was very sad.

In an interview, Pellegrini seemed to be worried about the result of the defeat in this game: "I think the final big score does not reflect the real gap between the two sides." And Isco said bluntly: "The opponent completely crushed us in the second half. We failed to seize the opportunity."

Previously, the Spanish team had won 19 consecutive games in the European final. The last time they lost in the European final was the 2001 Champions League final, when Valencia lost to Bayern in the penalty shootout. Betis ended the record today that made Spanish fans extremely proud.
