Sid Lowe was at the Benito Villamarín and his report is here. Also, a reminder that Daniel Gallan is covering the Arsenal-Sporting tie right now! Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Erik ten Hag speaks to BT. “I am happy but we like challenges and we knew before Betis is a really good team … we beat them twice so I think we performed very well … second half was much better though the energy was out of the opponent after the goal … we were much better on the ball … all the players did very well … we not only have 11 players, we have a squad … Pellistri had some really good actions, I’m really pleased with his performance … no red cards, no injuries … we have depth, but not that big!”
