Football, more than any other sport, is about sharing stories. Stories about places, stories about people, stories about culture.
And so as the last decade has seen an unprecedented dominance of a select few ‘big’ clubs winning almost every trophy available, we have missed out on those new stories that football so brilliantly tells.
So last season we sent Eli Mengem on a journey, to document the few ‘smaller’ clubs who somehow did have a chance at winning something, in order to share the new stories we’ve all been missing out on.
From the south of Spain to the north of Turkey to the south west of Germany, Once in a lifetime is a new series telling the story of three very different clubs made up of three very different people, in three very different places, that all share one thing in common. A very long wait to win something.
To begin, we start with Real Betis, arguably Spain’s most eccentric fanbase whose incredible passion in the stands isn’t reflected on the pitch. So when they made the Copa De Rey final, which just happened to be hosted in their own city of Seville, we just had to be there to document what happens when such a fascinating fan base has a chance to win their first trophy in 17 years.
This is Once In a Lifetime.

For a club I knew so little about 34 minutes ago to having a lump in my throat watching them win is such a testament to the supporters of Betis but even more the absolute incredible level of detail and passion that Eli and the whole Copa90 crew puts into these videos. I never think they can one up themselves but they always do. But at the end of the day with documentaries like this how can you not fall in love with football.
Musho betis! Come on you boys in green!
Si usted tenía ese nudo en la garganta es por que nació bético ,el bético nace no se hace ,un saludo y abrazo muy grande
@@javierromeromorales3808 ¡Muchas gracias amigo! ¡Vamos Bético!
100% agree. Count this family from Wisconsin USA as the newest Beticos! Hope to score tix for their Dec. 31 game when we are in Sevilla!
Ik right I thought they were another club like Valencia or Villarreal , boy was I wrong
Teams like Betis actually signify Spanish football, the media focuses on the big two too much but they’re actually the most boring ones
I'm sorry bro but if you're mediocre you can't get the main spotlight cz you're passionate it's great hearing stories like this but winners are celebrated that's life bro
@@jahvon8083 Its boring because always wins the sameone, so the celebrations and the passions are completly diferent
@@Elrumix3 llevas toda la razón 😁 aburrido es poco jejeje 💚
@@jahvon8083 when you have teams like Barcelona with 1300M€ debt and instead of relegating them to a lower division you help them, is not fair, it is mafia. Look who they relegate other teams un other ligues, like rangers, juve, bourdeox, etc. Even in Spain, Salamanca, jerez, etc. Rules are not the same for all, fock Barcelona and Madrid.
Musho Betis!!!! Ooooooooééé!!!
As an Everton fan I understand suffering while your neighbours win things, well done Betis 👍
Up the scousers!!! C'mon ye boys in blue! Musho Betis! COYBIG
You’d understand better than most after nearly 28 years of it

I like it so much and as a Trabzonspor fan I really liked Real Betis because I did not know so much about this great fanbase. Now I can say that I am supporting Real Betis in Spain because we got so many similarities and I can say I am a Betico from now on. ''Mandando mi amor al Betis desde Trabzon''
I either have team in Turkey so I will support Trabzon 💚
@@zeteRBb Watch our documentary you will understand me. Just like as being Betico, being a Trabzonspor fan also means suffering. 💚🤍❤💙
Musho Trabzonsport !!
Bienvenido demir
Te quiero illo
Someone nearby must have started chopping onions when I saw Alvaro celebrating. What a wholesome guy, what a wholesome video.
Usted no lo sabía y ahora lo descubrió ,el bético no se hace el bético de nace y ese sentimiento que le surgió es el sentimiento bético seguro que usted lo tenía en su ADN enhorabuena por elegir el camino verdiblanco seguro que ya nunca se encontrará solo .viva el Betis manquepierda
What a documentary, made my skin crawl. Love Beti 🇳🇬 from México 🇲🇽
I'm from Barcelona and I couldn't stop crying with this documentary...one of the best documentaries I have ever watched in my Life. More than just a documentary, it is sublime
I'm an Irishman,I've supported Betis since I was 8 year's old,I'm 38 and I still and always will bleed green and white 🇮🇪❤️
Glad to see people from around the world supporting this great club! My favourite club as well, cheers from Serbia mate!
💚💚💚
Do you know that the only time Real Betis won La Liga was with a irish coach? Patrick O'Connell. There's a lot of History in common between Ireland and Betis
@@tonivargas7002O'Connell is a legend
Betis have The biggest fanatics in spain! Greetings Feyenoord fan
Feyenoord ❤
The only thing I knew about Betis prior to this video is that they are the noisy neighbours in Seville but now after 34 mins I find myself crying for a team who I don't even follow.
I've never seen club with so much love and passion and now I'm a fan .. viva real Betis
This is incredible as a Portuguese one day i went to Estadio Municipal de Portimão and watched Betis playing against Porto in the middle of the Betis crowd, that was an amazing feeling, their energy and idoletry about Joaquin was amazing as well, i remember that one baby was crying and his mom whispered on is ear "Joaquin" and he stopped crying it was outrageous, cheers from Portugal my dear Beticos friends 💚
I'm from Seville and I live in London for more than 3 years. I just cried with this video, THANK YOU BETIS! 💚
I started to like Betis because Hector played there but after this video how can you not fall in love with the club.
I was there that night, with my father... I was 3 years old when we won Copa del Rey in 2005, I grew up seeing my team in Segunda (Second division), having to deal with the insults of the teams that grew while mine stayed in mud, hearing the stories of the old people talking about Gordillo, Alfonso, Esnaola... and how those were the golden days of Real Betis... But that night was magical, I had never hugged my father harder in my life, both full of tears and all I could think about was about going to the city centre to celebrate it with all my friends... With some good luck and a lot of work, this will happen way more times in the near future. Manque pierda tuyo siempre💚💚💚💚
Yo esta ha sido el primero que he vivido (aparte del de 2° división de 2014) por lo que siempre he vivido los malos momentos aún así seguí apoyando
@@Elrumix3 El haber mamado el manquepierda desde chicos es lo que nos hace valorar estos buenos momentos
So many similarities with the club I love, Aris Thessaloniki. The only difference is that our trophy winning drought is not 17 years but... 52. And counting. Some great moments here and there, some huge victories (defeated Atletico Madrid twice in a month back in '10) but other than that it's just bleak moments: unfair results, relegations, late promotions, financial problems... and a hated rival who wins trophies. Still Aris is counted as one of the big clubs in Greece. Cannot even imagine what will happen when we eventually win something... Greeting to all Betis fans. My new favorite club in Spain. VAMOS BETIS! From Thessaloniki, Greece.
This is the football i love.. I don't care about Real Barça Bayern etc.. Incredible football club, incredible fans, congratulations not only for winning the spanish cup, congratulations for the people you are
As a Bético living in Japan. Thank you. Thank for sharing our story and explaining everything so well. I'll definitely use this video to help me make more Béticos around the world and to explain our way of life! Musho Betis 👏🏻👏🏻
Arigato! Betico from Serbia here!
As an American who studied for Sevilla for a semester in college and fell in love with Betis, this video made me realize once again just how special this club is. Growing up loving soccer and supporting Chelsea, I had no Spanish team to support and my host family converted me into a Betico. I distincly remember my host brother telling me the difference between Sevilla and Betis, and him telling me about "Dicen que estamos locos en la cabeza" and it really sticking with me. Thank you Eli for this incredible film and thank you for reminding me why I became a Betico in the first place 💚💚💚
"but if you are already winning, if you take the lead...you are scared of loosing what you already have so you will suffer even more" - Betis fans and us, we are alike" - San Jose Earthquakes fans shake fans with Beticos.
Visited Sevilla last week. Took a tour of the city and the first thing my guide did when he saw me in a Betis jersey was take a selfie with me. Throughout the whole tour whenever he saw a friend he knew, whether a bar tender or taxi driver he pulled them over to me to shake their hand and show me their Betis tattoos. Clearly such a passionate fan base 💚💚 Mucho Betis
Thanks to you for showing the true colours where ever you're from! Coybig!
Enhorabuena por el video, por cierto, cuanta verdad cuando dice, "Durante 17 años solo hemos podido celebrar ser béticos" Orgulloso de ser del Betis 💚
I've missed Derby Days so, so much during the pandemic. Having this new series is just what we needed. Thank you, Eli and Copa90 team.
Within 15 minutes whilst watching this I've become a Betis fan, looked at shirts on Ebay and planning a trip over. Unbelievable.

River is just like Madrid or Barca, a big club used to always winning - you cant understand what people who support teams like Betis (or my own team) go through.
@@rangerelessar3095 hHahahah
Fantastic film, I am British but my son and I have followed Betis for the past 18 years. If you love football then the fans of Betis are the embodiment of all the emotions which go with it.
Wow y'all can tell a story. I was sitting here making the same expressions as these fans were making. Was on the edge of my seat hoping they would win.
This documentary made me cry... As a fan of Football Club Vojvodina in Serbia, I can absolutelly identify the feelings Beticos have during their long life of suffering. Vojvodina is a huge club, but always in shadows of the big two Serbian clubs, Partizan and Red Star. This short movie represents a way of living rather than a football story. It shows how everyday struggles dissappear when the matchday comes, and how people live in the times of despair and chase glory through the success of their beloved club, no matter the status or position of it. At last, this line got me weeping: "Betis is not just a football club, it's a way of life... A tough one, but a fun one. And life is about having fun, and I think even though you lose most of the time, when you have a chance to have fun or have glory, you have the time of your life." Thank you Copa90 for showing this incredible story, and most of all THANK you Betis for being who you are and keeping the fight going on till you are alive!
COPA90 is honestly so good… always looking forward to their videos. So well researched, shot and edited - all involved in the process of making these videos are so obviously passionate about the beautiful game.
From Chile. I just love this team. Their tragycomedy stoicism mixed with some swag/pride attitude. Their workingclass mediterranean roots and vibes. The fact that Juan Miranda shot the last penalty (the name of my brother who passed away). Betis musho betis, manque pierda!!!
"Estoicismo tragicómico mezclado con una actitud de orgullo" creo que es la mejor descripción que he leído jamás del beticismo en 32 años como bético 😆 Me lo voy a imprimir en una camiseta verdiblanca

Como Betico que soy desde hace 63 años ,los pelos de punta. He vuelto a llorar por mi Betis.
Reminds me a lot of my own club TSV 1860 Munich. In the early 90s we made it back from the third division back to the Bundesliga. In 2004 we were relegated to the second division, from 2005 to 2017 we suffered in the second division and had to share the Allianz Arena with our local rival FC Bayern. Since 2011 we have also an "investor" from Jordan, but he divides the fans since he hasn't helped at all. In 2017 we were relegated from the second division to the fourth division because we didn't have the money for the license (although we still have the investor). But our relegation to the fourth division gave us the opportunity to leave the Allianz Arena and return to our very old and small but rather charming stadium. After one year in the fourth division we were promoted to the third division and had a huge party. There is even a rather telling video comparison on KZhead of our party with the celebrations of the FC Bayern for winning the national title in the same year. Although the club had these ups and downs it is still one of the most famous ones in Germany. On Friday we had a cup match against Dortmund and lost 3-0, nevertheless the fans celebrated the whole time. Was an amazing experience.
Come ye boys in blue!
Un abrazo desde la ciudad del Betis👍
I get special nods when I wear the Betis shirt I got myself in Seville. The story is when we played Seville (Manchester City ) in 2015 , I went all day Betis fans were wishing us luck and the day after they thanked us. Me being the same determined to create city fans in Seville , gave a city souvenir to a waiter and got myself the shirt. Now and when I come across a betis fan and speak to them it always makes a good story. betis made friends with city that day.
What a fantastic documentary. Really cool to see Bellerin involved in this. Had no idea his connection to Betis ran so deep. I hope we (Arsenal) can sort something out with Betis so he can go back on a permanent deal.
Real Betis epitomise the beauty of football, this documentary was fantastic! Definitely need to get over to a match at some point.
You are more than welcome pal! Coybig!
having read a bit about betis and watching a few documentaries on them, this really got me to tears. Being a Man Utd fan these past few years have been hard for us and i can just image how hard it is for these fan. I really have a team in Spain that i am goin to support now. I am now a Betico from Ghana. I love the resilience and passion the fans have for the team. I will one day watch this team play.
How has being a United “fan” from Ghana been hard for you? Absolute nonsense 😂
These guys spirit of being a supporting fan base is really captivating
Musho Betis!
Here an Andalucian and Betis fan and supporter, but I'm not from Sevilla city, I am from Jaén and Almería, more than 400km from Sevilla, but still Andalusia. Here Betis is as popular as Madrid or Barcelona, here in the street you come across a lot of people that support Betis, as much as the 2 big teams. Betis is Andalusia, is not only our team, it is our way of living 💚🤍💚
I’m from England but I’m now adopting Bettis as my favourite Spanish team 😁
Beautiful club and people. Much love from Lillestrøm Sportsklubb in Norway, we also know all about suffering. ❤
🇪🇦❤️🇳🇴
I remember crying when Rennes won the coupe de france, I understand these feelings. Felicitaciones Betis 💚🤍
Literalmente llorando, el Betis es lo más grande que la vida nos ha dado a los béticos, solo comprende mi locura quien comparte mi pasión
Qué buena frase
Thank you guys for doing this. This is what football is really about. Not clubs that are so big that they are essentially lifestyle and fashion brands that happen to have a football team. Not playthings for bored billionaires. Not multinational marketing schemes. As the dude in the video said, every fan deserves to realistically believe his team could have their day in the sun. There's nothing wrong with their being "big clubs," there have always been big clubs, but the scale has gotten so tilted now that if you're not a big club already, your only hope is that someone with trillion dollars swoops in and buys you, otherwise, there's almost no chance of success. That kind of stratification will kill the game.
Great video about the best club in Spain, non biased Celtic fan here of course!
Was in Seville a few weeks back what a great city with such big teams, but as a supporter of Wolves and Galway United I wouldn't let myself support the glory club, the airport security as I went home to Ireland looked up from my passport and lit up when he saw that a kid from Ireland had taken to Betis and not Sevilla he said to me "Ah Real Betis, Sevilla? NOOOOO SOMOS BETICOS" I suppose an Irish man like me would naturally support the team in Green haha, I might be the west of Irelands only Betis fan even if I support my local Galway United and Wolverhampton which is also strange when most Irish people support big six clubs, but Betis is my adopted club, Verdi-blancos are everywhere in the world
Nice lad! Also Irish people are all around the world! Me myself im a glaswegian with irish blood who's been brought up in Seville and who's a Betis seasson ticket holder lol. Mon the Celts! musho Betis! And up the ra!
Patrick O'Connell was the manager that won Betis the title also 🇮🇪
As a kid from america (georgia) i suppoet Wolverhampton also. I do support atletico also…can’t go my whole life without a w
OMG! when i saw this video released, i knew i had to tune in! i've loved the fan culture of real Betis Balompie for a long time and always been pulling for them to edge closer into the group of elite teams of La Liga. The passion goes beyond a trophy or recognition around the world, it's the pride they have of Andalucia which cant go unmatched. Te quiero mucho Beti!
Coybig! Show the true colours where ever you're from!
Vamos Betis! From Glasgow Celtic 🍀🟢⚪️
What a wonderful documentary, What a beautiful club, what of incredible supporters you have. I had in a lot of moments gallina de piel, i had tears in my eyes watching this! You are crazy guys and you are so beautiful! Viva Betis! Best wishes from Augsburg, Baveria. I will come to Sevilla to see a match! Me enamoré en este equipo!
you will be very welcome
Goosebumps, incredible video and hisotry. I met a Betis fan in london and I also lived with him for years, he gave me the passion for this amazing football club. Viva el Futbol, Viva Betis. Greeting from an Inter fan
Absolute class!! Celtic FC fan here with various Betis merch in my wardrobe thanks to trips to Spain and Seville. Had a soft spot since I read that Celtic donated kits to Betis. Great to see the same emotions there as I know from supporting Celtic, although we are more successful. Keep up the great work Eli. Class again mate.
Actually Betis colours are green and white after Celtic FC
@@SitoPon yes, this is my understanding. That when Celtic changed to "Hoops" they donated the old "stripes" to Betis.
Manuel ramos asensio, se trajo los colores de la camisa verde y blanca del celtic. Su profesor en la universidad de Glasgow fue uno de los fundadores del celtic de Glasgow.
Incredible stuff! I was in Seville supporting my team, Valencia CF, with no tickets for the final and the city atmosphere was awesome. I wish you had been able to reflect on the video the friendship among fans. "Glad" we were won by Betis, even though I have not been able to finish the part of the chapter with the shootouts. It still hurts. Amunt Valencia!
El ambiente que se vivió fue increíble, muy buen rollo tanto por parte de mi Betis como de los valencianistas, desde aquel día, a pesar de haber sido rivales le tengo cariño a tu club. Viva el Betis y amunt valencia!
as a caribbean, I feel so close to the culture of Andalucia, to the accent of their people, this video made me a betis follower, congrats copa90, you made it.
You should visit Osasuna in the cup’s final. The team was almost liquidated in 2016, but a goal in the last minute of the last Segunda game avoided it. 7 years later we are better than ever, huge story.
would be great
They did😊
As a Trabzonspor fan, I was very touched. Our pains, our feelings, our joys are very similar. Betis people are also playful like us and stubborn enough to never leave their team. The team I respect the most in Spain now is real betis. Even if you lose, don't quit !
I have seen both Sevilla teams, but the atmosphere at Benito Villamarín Stadium is insane!
How this video hurts to my Betis heart... I'm living at Italia and I really miss have a great hug with my father watching the games together. Crying the whole video.
As betico and Sevillian this documentary made me drop some tears. Thank you for your interest and the spreading of this unique chain of culture and spontaneity taking place in this ancient city. This may be one day a valuable source for future archaeologists and historians. Viva el Betis
As an American you’re aware we are quite behind on football fandom. What this particular segment / series allows folks like me to see is the love and passion from fans far beyond what I thought orginally. The young man attending the game in tears referencing his grandfather made me weep in remembering my own. For me it’s baseball, and my dreaded Chicago Cubs, that remind me of my grandfather. Every time I go to Wrigley Field he’s with me. It doesn’t matter the sport, love and passion is the same in every country, in every language. Sport is beautiful, and I’m finding out football is as lovely as any other. Tip of the cap to all of you struggling and still able to find the love for your club. Someday I’m coming to see a match I promise you.
Great documentary and as an Eintracht Frankfurt supporter I fully understand everything they are talking about. Like always having the feeling that something bad will happen. We have won the cup and the EL in the last 4 years and it was worth every relegation, beein on the brink of bankruptcy etc. Stay loud, proud, loyal and support your local team. Screw the gloryhunters.
Honestly one of the best videos I have ever seen on KZhead. An incredible ability to show how much football means to a city and its people. I had never thought about Betis before and by the end I was truly emotional. Top stuff, Eli is incredible!
De parte de un hincha del Club Atlético Nacional de Colombia la pasión por este hermoso deporte traspasa los limites y el amor por nuestros club, Aguante Betis Aguante Atlético Nacional de Colombia.
Soy valencianista por más de 20 años, y ver ese final aún me duele, en nuestra época propria de sufrimiento muy duro. But if we had to lose to any team, I am glad it was a Betis team filled with multiple former Valencia players still near and dear to the heart--Canales, Guardado, Victor Ruíz, Montoya...y sobre todo...el leyenda de Guasa, Joaquín--with such a wonderful fun base from such a marvelous city. Incredible video in an era of broken elite football.
Beautiful story love this. already loved betis as a celtic fan from Scotland had betis shirts due too the colours etc but ive learned so much more from this video gave me so much more love for betis 💚 class club
so, you should know that our t-shirt is for the Celtic

que grande es el betis
You know, I attended this huge watching-along of the Copa del Rey Final at the Benito Villamarin. The thing is, the moment I was to enter the stadium (30 mins prior to the match starting), the door I was supposed to check in was shutted, in fact, due to an electronic problem. So I missed the starting 15 minutes of the final, including Borja Iglesia's goal. It was not just me, it was my whole family and other 60-70 strangers (and béticos) that couldn't enter on time and it wasn't our fault. But you know what? As the whole stadium ROARED as the ball touched the net, those 70 "locos de la cabeza", myself included, also celebrated furiously! It was so different, so many mixed feelings... But it was awesome, and we got to win in the end!! Definitely a story to tell
En poco mas de media hora has descrito perfectamente el sentimiento que es. Muchas gracias.
This is an amazing documentary! If La Liga actually promoted other teams besides Barca, Madrid and Atletico people might actually get to know the other 17 teams in the league?! Shame on you La Liga. Well done COPA90, this is truly amazing.
This video literally got me crying - I am a Brescia fan and I really hope that one day my team will also be able to lift a trophy, even though that’s nearly impossible

Sincerelly, congratulations for this beautiful work, from a bético. You could caught many of the Betis' essence, feeling and philosophy. I was crying at the end with the hippy faces of our People. This is our Best trophy: every child, man and woman who feels Betis how a way of life

What an incredible piece of work. Thank you for telling this story. Actually made me cry. One of the best football documentaries I have seen. Gets to the heart of being a long suffering football fan.
This documentary had me in my feelings for I have been a life long NY Jets fan and I have lived a life of suffering. The supporters of Real Betis are close to my heart for I found a fanbase that I have an emotional connection with. This documentary is so well done that it makes me want to support the team, for the supporters have my heart..
El Betis es el reclamo de un pueblo, es la eterna lucha de clases, el David contra Goliat, el Quijote con alma de campeón. Es el símbolo de una tierra obrera y luchadora. Es el verde de la esperanza y el blanco de la nobleza. es el llanto en la victoria y el aplauso en la derrota. es el carácter de su gente en el manquepierda. El Betis rompe las fronteras, porque cualquiera se puede ver reflejado en su lucha. No es el mejor, pero tiene un algo que siempre lo hace campeón. Mucho Betis!!!
Mas claro imposible
You almost made me cry… keep doing those amazing videos and hopefully u can do “once in a lifetime” about Celta Vigo. Unbelivable Eli 👏🏼💙
I'm Chilean. We have history with Spain, obviously, specifically with Andalusia, a lot of colonisers came from that region. Betis manager is Chilean, Manuel Pellegrini, and so was the keeper for that game, Claudio Bravo. I was supposed to be studying, but ended up watching the game in discord with some friends. Es que hay que ser der Beti
I have been supporting them since I arrived in Spain in 1994, and it’s a thing that is hard to explain. To tell the truth, since I was a kid my dream was to win the UEFA cup or the cup winner’s cup (mostly in 1998 when we lost against chelsea) and it’s been hard to see our rivals win 6 of them
Copa90 was the channel that made me support Real Betis after watching Derby Days: Seville back in 2018. I'm glad that I've been supporting them since. Amazing club with an amazing fanbase 💯
Gracias, habéis captado el sentimiento de una afición, estoy emocionado
Señores con DON HECTOR BELLERIN. NOS TENEMOS QUE QUITAR EL SOMBRERO. TODOS LOS BÉTICOS. VIVA EL BETIS 💚 💪 ⚽.
Wow … a really impressive video! This brings back some great memories for me. Some years ago I spent my university Year Abroad teaching English in Spain and whilst visiting Seville I managed to attend the special Betis Centenary (Centenario) exhibition. I witnessed at first hand how passionate béticos are when I watched Betis win 3-0 at the Mestalla at the end of last season. I still remember the colour and noise their supporters created at Stamford Bridge in 1998 and 2005.
Eli is great football storyteller. All his work is A1. This is no different, the doc was beautiful, shit had me tearing up by the time I finished.
Totally agree, Eli is one of my favourite Football journalists
VIVA EL BETIS desde Chicago 💚🤍💚🤍💚
As a supporter of Schalke 04, I can relate to the suffering and the pain these fans experienced. I was so glad that they were spared the fate of the SC Freiburg supporters who saw their team go down in penalties in the last German cup final. As the video you did about that final, this here was not just about a club and a match, but you portrayed a city, its people, its hopes and dreams and culture, by using football as some sort of microscope to get a closer look. Well researched and presented like the master storyteller you are. Thank you for introducing me to Real Betis and its fans!
I think I could watch a programme of this style about any club in the world. Regardless of what they’re playing for etc. Please keep them coming.
Eli..this is a masterpiece! I cried so much. Thank you,very well researched a
As a Barcelona fan i was rooting for Betis in this final. Congrats from the 9th province
These "Once in a Lifetime" videos are beautiful. The two ones I've watched have had me in tears and make me want to keep following the clubs. Would love this to become a regular series.
I got to travel to Seville a couple years back and found myself both at the Villamarin and in the company of several Béticos and both were great experiences. The club itself is full of genuinely good people and the fanbase were as nice as it gets, very welcoming and kind. As a Liverpool fan, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the club and I’m hoping to eventually get to see one of their games live, and I’m hoping they manage to pull through in Europe this year and build on last season’s success. Mucho Betis 💚
Absolutely outstanding, such a relatable video for so many football fans. Those days in the sun and the stress of holding onto leads is what football is all about, big teams who win and expect always to be winning will never understand this video. Betis absolutely will be my Spanish team after this video
this video made me a real betis fan, all the way from australia
