What happened with Villarreal on Thursday at the Stade Vélodrome? Marcelino’s team was confident, with 7 matches without defeat, before being martyred in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League (4-0).

Villarreal is crumbly defensively, we saw him against him during the week, but Villarreal has excellent offensive players, like Gerard Moreno who needs no introduction (he is exceptional when he is in full swing). possession of his physical means). The Beticos thus led 1-0 and 2-1 thanks to Guido Rodriguez (30th) and Willian José (45th+2).

It was before the Spanish international’s recital. Gerard Moreno is thus at the origin of his team’s three goals, the first signed Alex Baena (40th), then the equalizer signed Sokratis Papastathopoulos against his side (45th) and, finally, the 3-2 goal from Alexander Sorloth (67th). The match changed immediately with the exclusions of Alberto Moreno and Chimy Avila during a long altercation between players AND referees (70th).
Betis miss the opportunity to regain their sixth place in the table at Real Sociedad, while Villarreal, only 11th, is still eight points behind Europe.
