Real Betis crashed out of Europe for the second time this season after losing to Dinamo Zagreb
For the second time this season, Real Betis have exited a European competition. They were kicked out of the Europa League before Christmas after finishing third in their group – which meant they were relegated to the Europa League, and have now been kicked out of that competition too after losing to Dinamo Zagreb .
Betis lost the first leg 1-0 at Benito Villamarin last weekend, which meant they needed to win to force extra time to the minimum in Zagreb. They were well on their way to doing so when Cedric Bakambu scored his first goal for the club on his first start in the first half.
However, Takuro Kaneko found an equalizer for Dinamo in the second half, which put them 2-1 on aggregate. That's how it stayed until full time, despite Betis' best efforts to force extra time.
It ends a very disappointing European season for The Real Betis, who must now put his full focus on the League. It's also bad news for Spanish football in terms of securing five Champions League spots for next season, as there are now only Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad (all in the Champions League) to push for. the coefficient.
