Did Aitor say a few months ago that he didn't want Betis to end up with a poor showing like the one Villarreal had in Champions? (Sorry, I don't speak Spanish, so I may have misread the translation) What is the strategy to prevent that?

Does Betis buy Amrabat? (He still makes me nervous with his challenges);
keep Natan and Altimira, despite potentially big paydays? I don't want to sell Natan just to spend too much for someone like Affengruber (who is very good) if Elche go down.

Abde would 100 percent need to stay.

If we are looking at Europa, some of the above sales make sense.

Who are the centerbacks, leftbacks, and number 9s who will be out of contract or in teams that will likely get relegated?

p.s. It would be super if Pellegrini wore the chandal for special matches again.

p.p.s. Three cheers to Rayo (Batalla's saves!) and PSG.

Tsygankov’s opening goal gave me PTSD. It looked like it was defended against by the Keystone Cops. There had been a pall, a stink of defeat in the minutes after. Marc Roca’s lovely goal changed everything - it was nice to see a bit of grit again.

It was good Roro finally scored his first league goal for us; Lo Celso will score one of those free kicks (specialty of Argentines?); Cucho and Fornals finally got some rest; it was stressful everytime Isco got kicked; it was stressful everytime Amrabat and Bartra crashed around the box; I know Valentin is not dazzling, but I’m really glad we have him- seeing Alex Moreno’s runs down the touchlines made me miss him and Juanito, though.

It’s the 4th anniversary of the Copa win. I still off the fumes of the memory.
