Real Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini talks to TNT Sports. “This is the first time Betis is going to play a European final so it is not easy to manage that … I am sure from the first minute we will try to have the personality to win the game … the fans are unbelievable … we need to win this game for them … both teams play in a similar way … attacking … from the first minute … a difficult game because Chelsea are a good team.”
The Real Betis side contains some names familiar to followers of the Premier League. Antony is on loan from Manchester United, and has lost just one of his previous four meetings with Chelsea, winning two and drawing one. Adrián used to keep goal for West Ham United and Liverpool, winning the Premier League and Super Cup with the latter. Pablo Fornals spent four years at West Ham, and was part of their side that won this competition in 2023. Giovanni Lo Celso, formerly of Spurs, and erstwhile Southampton defender Romain Perraud are on the bench. And then there’s Isco, who has won two previous Uefa finals against English opposition, both with Real Madrid, both against Liverpool in 2018 and 2022. He’s five for five in European finals.
