‘Betis happy, but still face fight’

Pepe Mel was pleased for Real Betis’ 1-0 win in Portugal on Thursday evening, but warned of the fight they still face in the Europa League.

Los Beticos are top of Group I with two games remaining thanks to Chuli’s 94th minute winner stole the points away to Vitoria de Guimaraes.

“Here we have done things right, as we did against Levante, but then without reward,” considered Coach Mel afterwards.

“We have to keep fighting for the classification, we still face an important match agasint Lyon in France and will go there to fight.

“Here we had the chances, the play, but only scored the one goal, but in football the goals are worth the same in the first and 90th minute.

“The truth is that we are very happy, but the next game will be difficult. Beating Barcelona is complicated but we will try.”
