On March 16, 2025, Real Betis achieved a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory against Leganés at Estadio Municipal de Butarque in Madrid, Spain. The team overcame an early 2-0 deficit, with coach Manuel Pellegrini’s strategic triple substitution playing a pivotal role in the turnaround.
This win marked Pellegrini’s 79th La Liga victory with Real Betis, surpassing Lorenzo Serra Ferrer’s record for the most top-flight wins in the club’s history. Under his leadership since 2020, the team has secured four consecutive European qualifications, solidifying their status as a formidable force in both La Liga and European competitions.
The match featured goals from Cucho Hernández and Cédric Bakambu for Real Betis, while Leganés found the net twice. The victory extended Real Betis’s winning streak to five league matches, a feat not achieved since 2018 under Quique Setién.
