He Real Betis Balompié will look for the epic in the Benito Villamarín against Manchester United this Thursday. The Verdiblancos, who were thrashed at Old Trafford (4-1), meet again Red Devils led by Erik ten Hag, who will try to secure the income harvested in his fiefdom.

For this decisive game, Pellegrini will not be able to count on Brazilian central defender Luiz Felipe, who had to give up before the end at Old Trafford due to muscle problems, which prevented him from playing against Villarreal in La Cerámica. Nor will winger Juan Cruz, who returned to training this week with the rest of his team-mates but who “have to miss a few weeks to play football” either.

For the rest, the Chilean coach relies on his own ‘block’ of the Europa League, against an eleven in which football players come in as Edgar González in the back. In the middle of the field there are no surprises, but in midfield there are the arrival of Joaquín and Ruibal, who will join Juanmi, and Ayoze will be at the front and not Borja Iglesias. It has also surprised that Claudio Bravo stays on the bench and the owner is Rui Silva.

The United don’t trust

It must be said about the England team approach the duel with caution, that of Ten Hag at a press conference when he pointed out that “it’s a serious game and we’ll play with the best”, including Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, who are wary and could miss the hypothetical quarter-final game if they pass the tie. Anyway, the first leg goalscorer Antony and Garnacho did not travel to Sevilla due to illness and injury respectively, and Pellistri entered the defensive line of midfielders and Maguire.
